Multiverse
.dome

Multiverse .dome is an adaptation of Multiverse designed for a dome structure. Just like the original installation, it explores the evolution of infinite possible universes through the use of generative graphics and sounds. The work lays its foundations on Lee Smolin’s theory - observing that our universe is only one in a much larger cosmos (the Multiverse), a member of a growing community of universes, each one being born from the collapse following the formation of a black hole. The work evolves through the creation of a succession of digital paintings, attempting to represent the eternal birth and death of infinite parallel universes.

The original installation of Multiverse includes a series of mirrors above and below the projection screen, aiming to heighten the perception of reality by implying that the installation expands beyond the physical space. Dome structures are the perfect fit to further explore this direction as they allow for the removal of all barriers that normally separate the viewers from the artwork. A 360-degrees projection allows for a full immersion in the work and its narrative, offering a new take on the original installation and its conception.

After two studies presented in Taiwan (2020) and Mexico (2022), Multiverse .dome premiered in its final form at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Berlin in 2023.
