After Hours: Gaia Gathering

Event Info

Techniquest isn’t just for kids. It’s for big kids, too.

This September, you can be one of the first to experience Gaia, Techniquest’s new installation of the Earth by visionary artist Luke Jerram.

Featuring detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, the installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are 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.

Gather with like-minded adults at Techniquest’s popular adults-only event, and celebrate the wonder of Gaia.
