A DEEP SPACE ENCOUNTER LIKE NO OTHER
As cutting-edge technologies such as the James Webb Space Telescope unveiled the mysteries of deep space, we were compelled to expand our cosmic understanding.

At the Eisemann Center, audiences were captivated by "Sensing Deep Space: Pandora's Cluster," an interactive installation that invited them to visualize and sonify data from NASA space telescopes in real time. Our unique control center allowed audiences to manipulate the data and transform the environment around them.
Location: Charles W. Eisemann Center (2351 Performance Dr, Richardson, TX 75082)
MEET THE TEAM - Drawing upon a multidisciplinary team of physicists, astronomers, creatives, and artists, we seamlessly weave scientific expertise with artistic vision to bring this installation to life, merging the boundaries of science and artistry.

 EXPERIENCE DEEP SPACE BEYOND THE CONTRAINTS OF HUMAN PERCEPTION
A STELLAR SYMPHONY...
Drawing inspiration from the extraordinary Pandora's Cluster, a galactic collision of several galaxy clusters located approximately 4 billion light-years away. The collisions of galaxies result in gravitational lensing, which bends and distorts light, providing us with a visual spectacle. 

The awe-inspiring Pandora's Cluster, a realm too distant and unfathomable for human feet to tread, is now attainable through the exquisite marriage of artistry and science.
