NOWISWHENWEARE (The Stars) is an immersive, interactive, light and sound installation guiding each visitor through an internal monologue about grief, community, and the one-way-ness of time. It is ultimately a story about you.

There are two ways to experience the show. GUIDED-journey through the installation guided by an unseen narrator. OPEN UNIVERSE-an entirely self-guided experience.

OPEN UNIVERSE INSTALLATION: A self-guided experience through an open installation. You'll have an entry time and can explore the space at your own pace.

Thursday and Friday, Feb 23 and 24, 10 AM, 10:30 AM, 11 AM, 11:30 AM

It is first a guided narrative, then an interactive exploration. Visitors are invited to explore a warehouse-sized room that will eventually be filled with over 5,000 individually controlled points of light. Using the 3D sound-spatializing technology Wave Field Synthesis and a room-sized tracking system, the technology behind this project allows us to pinpoint the precise location of every star and place a voice, a memory, a fleeting whisper at each - heard only there and nowhere else. The memories are community members' stories, memories, thoughts, and recollections - recorded where the project is currently housed.
