Celestial Inflections
Celestial Inflections Celestial Inflections is an exploration of the universe with the viewer’s own body. The silhouette bends and warps space, swimming in distant galaxies. Approaching the camera causes one’s body to delve deeper and deeper into space and zoom into faraway star fields. The imagery in this artwork comes from the Hubble Space Telescope, and is a history book of galaxies in the universe. It combines thousands of separate Hubble pictures from over 16 years, and represents over 200,000 galaxies. The images were collected and mapped by NASA, ESA and researchers from many universities, and can now be experienced interactively through this artwork.
