Beyond The Light

ARTECHOUSE × NASA

An ARTECHOUSE × NASA exhibition, Beyond the Light transforms space data into immersive art — celebrating the James Webb Space Telescope and our quest to explore the cosmos.

Location

ARTECHOUSE DC, Houston & New York City

Role

Led XR design as part of a cross-functional team, collaborating with NASA scientists and internal creatives to conceptualise, design, and implement immersive experiences. Built using Unity and Vuforia, with real-time code and animation workflows.

Beyond the Light — Near Earth Object — Near Earth Object 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.

Beyond the Light — Life of a Star — 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.

Beyond the Light — Big Bang — 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!

Beyond the Light — Spectroscopy — 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.

Beyond the Light — Telemetry — 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).
