BEYOND THE LIGHT

An ARTECHOUSE Studio original exhibition, developed in collaboration with NASA. It pays tribute to humanity's scientific and artistic achievements, particularly celebrating the first-year journey of the James Webb Space Telescope and our ability to explore the cosmos through innovation.

DETAILS

SPECTROSCOPY

Spectroscopy is one of the fundamental tools which scientists use to study the Universe. It helps to understand how an object like a black hole, neutron star, or active galaxy produces light, how fast it moves, and what elements it is composed of.

LIFE OF A STAR

Stars go through a natural cycle, much like any living being. This cycle begins with birth, expands through a lifespan characterized by change and growth lasting billions of years, and ultimately leads to death. We are, in the scientific sense, made of stardust.

COMETS, METEORS & ASTEROIDS

A near-Earth object (NEO) is a small body in the Solar System that orbits the Sun and comes within 1.3 times the Earth–Sun distance. NEOs can be asteroids or comets, ranging in size from meters to tens of kilometers.

TELEMETRY

Telemetry is the process of collecting and transmitting data from remote or inaccessible locations to a central location for monitoring and analysis. It involves the measurement and transmission of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, position, or other relevant data using sensors or instruments. A spacecraft like JWST produces digital data, such as images from its cameras, and sends it via radio frequency downlink (through telemetry) to the Deep Space Network (DSN).

BIG BANG

Big Bang is the most broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe. According to it, the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now — and it will continue to expand!

ASE: AFRO-FREQUENCIES

Inspired by aṣẹ, the Yoruba concept relating to our power to produce change, Aṣẹ: Afro Frequencies celebrates the Black experience through the perspectives of artist Vince Fraser and poet Ursula Rucker.

DETAILS

BLACK UTOPIA

Re-imagining black society in the future, guided and protected by the ancestors.

BRAIDED QUEEN

A manbo or mambo is a female ritual specialist in the Haitian Vodou tradition. She performs ceremonies, initiations, healings, and divinations. She is a spiritual guide for those who make contact with the gods through possession.

EGUNGUN

Egungun is a visible manifestation of the spirits of departed ancestors who periodically revisit the human community for remembrance, celebration and blessings.

REBUILD

Only by shattering, can we rebuild. Like a snake shedding skin, we must first release our old self for our new life to be born.

THE GUARDIAN

A guardian is a gatekeeper or protector who controls the gateway to the spiritual realm, deemed to have magical powers. It protects its people, maintains law & order and ensures safety & security. It's inspired by Zangbeto - the traditional voodoo guardians of the night among the Ogu or Egun people of Benin, Togo and Nigeria.

QUEEN KING

Based on Ursula Rucker's poem 'Queen/King King/Queen' featured in the exhibition. She talks about how to some, these are just titles or simply idols but to some, it's a tribe, a family, a community, a history, a legacy and a collective victory.

LIFE OF A NEURON

Through collaboration with the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s leading scientists and creatives, this immersive exhibit allows the viewers to experience a neuron—from pre-birth to death—providing an experiential view of life at a cellular level.

DETAILS

NeuroBlasts

Neuroblasts feature prominently in the explosion of growth that takes place while embryos develop. These immature neural cells can grow into anything from neurons to glia as they populate the diverse cells that compose the nervous system.

Addiction

The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops of social media.

NeuroPlasticity

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. This is what makes our brain different from when we wake up to when we sleep and when we sleep to when we wake up. Our brain is never the same because of Neuroplasticity.

Synapse

Neurons communicate with each other at the junctions called 'Synapse'. They never touch each other, the most common way they pass the signal to the next neuron is through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.

Brainbow Hippocampus

Brainbow Hippocampus depicts the actively firing anatomy and complex circuitry of the hippocampus, the hub of learning, memory, and integration of experience in the brain. The Brainbow technique is a process by which individual neurons in the brain can be distinguished from neighbouring neurons - by staining them with fluorescent proteins.

MACHINE HALLUCINATIONS - NYC

Machine Hallucination: NYC is a time and space exploration into New York City’s past and potential future. This immersive exhibition is of New York, by New York and for New York - through the mind of a machine.

PIXELBLOOM

For the 5th annual spring inspired exhibition, ARTECHOUSE pushes the boundaries of immersive digital art, inviting visitors to traverse through a virtual world of cherry blossoms brought to life.

As you enter the Immersion Gallery you’ll enter a journey that aims to breathe a new life into cherry blossoms in peak bloom through an explosion of vibrant colors and textures, intensifying the cherry blossom’s allure in a way that is only possible in a virtual environment.
