Experience the Nexus of Science and Art
In collaboration with NASA, IceSat2 launch, and Hologlobe, a 2018 Beautiful Earth Event attracted a crowd coalescing for a special under-the-stars countdown event the eve before the ICESat-2 satellite launch. The NASA sponsored live multimedia art and science program titled “Beautiful Earth,” (Solvang Festival Theater) featured a performance of BELLA GAIA with the latest NASA data visualizations, remarks by Project Scientist Thorsten Markus, and a 'first of its kind' - ‘hold the Earth' augmented reality experience using HoloGLOBE, guided by VR expert Lia Oganesyan, envisioned and designed by Kenji Williams.
