OMAi (AT) / STEMarts Lab (USA)
The OMAi Space Workshop is a unique learning experience that combines astrophysics and media art. Participants experience an exciting journey through space and time and explore the mysteries of the universe together with the workshop facilitator. Starting with an interactive starry sky, they first explore the significance of astrological observations for ancient advanced civilizations. The discussion leads to current ecological and ethical issues in the exploration of space. In the second part, participants will encounter supernovae, black holes, and gravitational waves. The excursion into the unknown finally leads to the extraterrestrial origins of the building blocks of life.
Explore the mysteries of the universe! A unique interdisciplinary sci-art experience combining astrophysics and new media art.
