Lunatick - Antony Gormley’s First VR Project
Extended to the 5th May.
Lunatick is a virtual reality collaboration by Antony Gormley and Dr. Priyamvada Natarajan, the acclaimed Professor of Astrophysics at Yale University whose work on black holes, dark matter and dark energy has transformed modern conceptions of the universe. The project is produced by Acute Art and uses data collected by NASA to map a real and interactive journey, leaving Earth to pass through atmosphere, stratosphere, the asteroid belt, and into outer space. As Gormley states ‘Our nearest neighbour is the Moon, and this project allows us to experience it as a found object in space, to explore its vast openness and swoop the ridges and valleys of its craters.’
