Kickstarter is an online fund-raising site. Artist, musicians, programmers, filmmakers or what have you consider set up a page on Kickstarter to promote whatever project they wish to create but lack the starter capital. That’s where you come in. If you like the project and trust, or have faith, that the creator can bring the work to fruition, you can donate whatever amount you see fit in order to help get said project off the ground.

We’ve got our eyes on a few projects that will be promoted here, and elsewhere, in the coming weeks.

For now, click the widget above to learn more about Redmoon and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) of Chicago’s 80-foot comic performance idea, “THE ASTRONAUT’S BIRTHDAY.”

Employing creative new technologies, live performers, and hand-illustrated shadow imagery, the audience can view 80-foot-tall comic book-like images on the MCA’s façade. The performance is presented in the windows of the MCA’s front façade while audiences of up to 1,000 a night are seated outdoors in the MCA Plaza. Event launch begins September 9th through the 26th!
