Gaia by Luke Jerram

Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring six meters in diameter, the mesmerizing Gaia features 120 dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. This beautiful artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet on this scale, floating in three dimensions. A fun fact is that the installation is 2.1 million times smaller than the real Earth and aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Experience what astronauts have described as a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

This awe-inspiring structure is harmoniously located within Blume Studios, home of the newest exhibition of our universe, "The Infinite".
