Solaris, a brand-new creative project which brings audiences on a journey through the life stages of a star, will be showcased at Saint Nicholas’ Church, from today, Thursday, November 14, to Sunday, November 17.
To celebrate Science Week the public are encouraged to visit Solaris, and discover the journey of a star from its birth to its explosive transformation into a pulsar. An exciting new kinetic sculpture from the Axolotl collective, Solaris explores the life cycles of the celestial bodies that fill the night sky.
Solaris is a 2.5 metre sphere containing thousands of individually mappable LEDs, which display visual imagery accompanied by voiceovers from very special guests including comedian Dara Ó’Briain to tell the story of the star’s journey.
