Art & Science Immersive Experience

Moon on the Water, Sun in the Sky

Moon on the Water, Sun in the Sky is a light art exhibit under the MIT dome - the landmark located at the center of the MIT campus. The art merges light, time, and space, evoking the power of nature by light transmission and reflection through a dichroic filter. Two circles, green and magenta, which represent moon and sun, are projected alternately every hour.

The contrast between the two circles is reminiscent of polarities in nature:

micro and macro,

dynamic and static,

inner and outer,

water and sky.
