NOW IS WHEN WE ARE (the stars)

N O W I S W H E N W E A R E  (the stars) is an interactive theatrical installation that pushes this idea to its literal extreme. An unseen narrator guides each participant through an individualized journey into a precisely programmed matrix of light – and the cosmos of themselves. Part meditation, part exploration, the stars draw visitors into a hyper-focus on the present. The Stars traces every decision that you have ever made as a contributing factor to being ‘here’ and being ‘now’.

This ambitious project with nearly 4,000 individually reactive LEDs and a 496-channel sound system envelops each participant. The Stars is an invitation to engage and become an active explorer – discovering the traces of yourself in light, the universe, and those who have been here before us.

Every point in space occurs once at each moment of time, and an event in time is the intersection of a location and a moment.  The Stars creates a space where each participant can define and recognize personal truths about themselves.
