[Alien] Star Dust by Victoria Vesna is a site specific immersive art experience that brings alive for the audience the sensation of meteorites and micro-meteorites falling on our planet from many dimensions.
The artist based the work on the museum's collection of meteorites that landed across all continents, as well as on the recorded radio signals reflected from the plasma trails collected from the meteor radar station on the roof of the museum.
Visitors activate projections of meteorites falling on the existing craters, generating a blend of extra-terrestrial and anthropogenic dust accompanied by the mix of outer space and earthly sounds. Dust knows no boundaries.
"[Alien] Star Dust" is an interactive red carpet exhibit during the Raw Science Film Festival on April 17th, 2020 in Costa Rica.
