Technology and art will come together in an “out of this world,” free public exhibit Jan. 7-Feb. 4 at the Eisemann Center thanks to the Eisemann Edge Initiative at Communities Foundation of Texas. The installation, entitled, “Sensing Deep Space: Pandora’s Cluster,” enables visitors to take a multisensory deep dive into a cluster of galaxies located 4 billion light-years away. (See below under Arts/Culture for date/time/ticketing information.)
This is the third installation of the Eisemann Edge Initiative, a program created in 2019 thanks to an endowment fund set up by local philanthropists Charles Eisemann and the late Ann Eisemann to encourage the growth of tech-based arts internationally. Past projects included 2020’s “MotherBoard” and 2022’s “20 Years in 20 Minutes.”
“Sensing Deep Space” is the collaborative work of a team of artists, scientists and technicians coordinated by Houston nonprofit SciArt Exchange, including staff and students from UT Dallas’ Physics Department and the UT Dallas Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology’s ArtSciLab. Additional support provided by the Richardson Cultural Arts Commission and the City of Richardson.
