Planetarium Mobilis is an immersive art experience that features local ambient musicians and images from space projected on a planetarium dome. The audience will lounge on yoga mats and pillows to experience this one hour performance and video installation. Traditional seating is also available. On June 4, ambient classical duo Highway Lights will accompany NASA imagery reimagined by filmmaker Anlo Sepulveda. Herbal tea will be served after the performance to ease re-entry. Astral projection meets sacred minimalism in this meditation on the universe.
Highway Lights is cellist Sara Nelson (Austin Symphony) and pianist composer Justin Sherburn (Montopolis). Influenced by Brian Eno, Arvo Pärt and Stars of the Lid, their music features sweeping cello solos and immersive drone sculptures, the perfect accompaniment for a journey through the galaxy. Listen to Highway Lights on Bandcamp.
