ALIEN STAR DUST: Signal to Noise is a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary project premiered on March 10, 2020, in Vienna at the meteorite gallery of the Natural History Museum. This research-based art project invites viewers to gain an intimate understanding of the importance and complexity of dust.
Every creature contains hydrogen atoms, and every material element is manufactured in stars through fusion. We, along with our myriad siblings of animals, plants, insects, plankton, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, are created from stardust by nuclear fusion. We all function together in vibratory fields from the bottom up, just as nature and nanotechnology work.
Fosun Foundation (Shanghai) is a non-profit organization launched and supported by the Fosun Group and Fosun Foundation.
The center is located in the Bund Finance Center. The building houses four floors above ground and three below. It was designed by British design firm Foster + Partners and creative director Heatherwick Studio. The architectural highlight is the facade—a golden, rotating bamboo curtain that hangs from the third floor. A visual element that combines East and West resembles an ancient Chinese crown and a Western harp. For several hours each day, the screen rotates in time with music, a “dancing building” along the bund.
