Beyond Cassini -
Exhibition
DirectorBeyond Cassini is an immersive art installation celebrating the life and death of one of NASA's most successful satelite missions. Commisioned by WOW inc. in collaboration with Gabriel Pulecio and presented at the hpgrp Gallery in New York City, the exhibition allows participants to step inside the mind of a dying satellite during it’s final moments of existence.
I developed the concept for this exhibition and directed the experience with a team of talented designers and artists.

It’s been said that just before a person dies their life’s most precious memories flash before their eyes. “Beyond Cassini” uses this narrative to celebrate the accomplishments of one of the most beloved Satellites in space exploration history.
As Cassini begins its final flight into Saturn’s upper atmosphere with a mission of disintegration, visuals flash back through time giving viewers highlights of this dying satellite’s life. Fleeting moments and flashbacks allow us to celebrate 20 years of Cassini’s achievements in a very personal and non-linear format.

With the goal to humanize and expand the legacy of this historic 20-year mission to those outside the scientific community, key moments and data were treated as memories:
Everything from the first northern pole images of Saturn, Lapetus two faced surface, Titan’s atmosphere, vertical structures in Saturn’s rings, icy plumes of Enceladus, Huygens probe landing, and the great northern storm.
