HAYLEY'S TALKS & PROJECTS:

Touching the Stars Sensor Demonstration

See and try motion sensors paired with thermal cameras through a series of interactive art modules as was used in StellarScape. 

StellarScape [Premieres Sunday]

StellarScape is an unprecedented combination of music, dance, and cinematography, blended with state-of-the-art data visualization and astrophysical simulation. The theme is astronomical, but the vision is humanistic. It shows that computers can be harnessed to create complex and evocative music, and technology can be deployed to display the grace of human movement and dance. The main outcome of this project will be to draw new audiences to a modern, science inspired multimedia work.
