Mind’s Eye - 2014

This ambitious outdoor audio piece brings art and science together and offers the audience an opportunity to explore and understand the solar system via the voices of those most familiar with it.

Mind’s Eye will transport you from one of Brighton’s least known areas to all corners of our Solar System. Put on a set of headphones and let the experience of pioneering scientists and engineers fuel your imagination. Guided by their voices; wander the barren plains of Mars, witness Rosetta’s imminent landing on a comet and adventure beyond, past the aurora of Saturn and on to interstellar space.

This ambitious outdoor audio piece brings art and science together and offers the audience an opportunity to explore and understand the solar system via the voices of those most familiar with it.

Mind’s Eye is the first project in the Shrinking Space series produced by Andy Franzkowiak and Mary Jane Edwards. It examines humanity’s place in the solar system by inviting artists, scientists and engineers to participate in a fictional space programme.

Andy specialises in science & art projects and site-specific theatre, his work includes the Enlightenment Café series and Deadinburgh and Mary Jane runs a research and development agency and consults across a range of sectors on how digital technology can support social impact. Shrinking Space is a confluence of their interest in science, digital technology and art as both, curators and producers, having worked together since 2009.

Mind’s Eye has been made possible with support from Neil Denny producer & presenter of Little Atoms Radio show & podcast, and the space scientist community, including the European Space Agency and NASA.

You can find more about the project online at: shrinkingspace.com, and on twitter: @shrinking_space
