Big Bang theory: Space installation is of the moment

Saint Petersburg – Russian art collective TUNDRA has developed The Void, a hypnotic installation that recreates the birth of the universe.

The immersive video installation reproduces the Big Bang through abstract shapes that are projected onto a 360-degree screen that surrounds the viewer. But to watch The Void, the viewer must remain completely still and silent.

A series of sensors around the room containing the installation pick up on the slightest movement. Whenever a sensor detects movement, the film will stop. So in order to view the film in full, viewers must become completely still and give the film their full attention.
