Dark Sky Project Stars
Human Dynamo created several large translucent spheres, ranging from 0.9 to 2.4 meters in diameter as part of an interactive science and tātai aroraki (Māori astronomy) experience.
Visitors to the center are invited to touch the vibrating orbs, which represent stars in our solar system.
The paint finishing and illuminated pulsating center creates a visually stunning and other-worldly experience for the participant.
