We aim to create a data-driven physical artwork that transforms complex scientific research into a personal, relatable, and imaginative experience. This piece will explore the delicate balance between cosmic emergence and the genesis of life on Earth, drawing parallels between the formation of the universe and the process of abiogenesis. By illustrating how life arose under highly specific and fragile conditions, akin to the fine-tuned balance required for stars and planet formation, the artwork emphasizes the singularity of life on Earth within the vast cosmos.
Through collaboration with scientists and researchers, this immersive and dynamic installation will bridge the gap between cosmology and humanity's place in the universe. It will engage audiences by demonstrating the fragility of life and the intricate interconnections between cosmic and biological emergence. The installation will captivate viewers at venues like the Artis Planetarium, Leiden Observatory, and the Venice Biennale, serving as a conduit to the latest discoveries from the James Webb Telescope and other cutting-edge research. Ultimately, this project underscores the rarity of life and the need to protect Earth's delicate balance, while sparking meaningful reflections on our unique role in the cosmos.
