Solaris, a brand-new creative project which brings audiences on a journey through the life stages of a star.
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 collective, Axolotl, Solaris explores the wondrous life cycle of the celestial bodies that fill the night sky.
Solaris is a 2.5 metre sphere containing thousands of individually mappable LEDs, which will display beautiful visual imagery that is accompanied by voiceovers from very special guests including comedian Dara Ó’Briain to tell the story of the star’s journey.
For Science Week 2024, Solaris will be on display in Saint Nicholas’ Church in Galway 14–17 November.
