The Stars [NOWISWHENWEARE]
The Stars (NOWISWHENWEARE) is an immersive installation of light and sound, guiding each visitor on a breathtaking journey through your inner self, community, grief, and the one-way-ness of time. Part meditation, part exploration, The Stars draws you into a contemplative and deeply personal encounter with time, memory, and of being “here” and “now”.
The Voxel helped workshop The Stars in 2022. It has since toured to New York, London, Wales, Minneapolis, Williamstown, Seattle, Austin, and more.
“The work I make is highly technical, but it is not about the technology. I am more interested in the application of the technology and how it can bring us closer together, shake us from the synthetic, and offer a genuine experience to every audience member’s consciousness, rather than just watching something “over there”. I am interested in how creating meaningful time-based experiences can lead to more meaningful human-to-human interaction.” — Andrew Schneider
This walk-through matrix of more than 5,000 individual LEDs was built specifically for The Voxel. It is easiest to picture as a planetarium you can walk through – whose stars hold the memories of those no longer with us – our elders, those lost too soon, our community.
All tickets are for an arrival window. You can arrive at any time within your window. The gallery experience is a 30-minute loop. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish. Patrons are welcome to explore the room, or can sit on the floor within the installation.
