Discovery – Chester Cathedral – 21st – 24th February 2024

‘Discovery’ was a spectacular sound and light experience event at Chester Cathedral. Themed around ‘Science and Space’ the installation invited people to ponder their relationship with our planet and beyond.

Discovery was an immersive journey for people to walk through and explore Chester Cathedral in a new light, inviting them to fully immerse themselves in the artwork, and consider what humans have achieved in our place in the world. 

Sound and light art took visitors on a journey through space, and gave them the chance to see original footage of the rocket launch, as well as to explore the creation story and the Big Bang and view the of Earth as if looking back from space under a galaxy of stars.

Discovery was designed to enable people to explore and contemplate the contributions of science and human understanding of the physical world around us, and the artwork explored chemistry and biology and interpreted, artistically, the scale of molecules cells and DNA, as well as exploring the history of science and its contributions to humanity, while reflecting upon famous scientists past and present.
