was selected and won the Grand Prize in the VR category at the Ottawa International Animation Film Festival 2023!
PST ART: Art & Science Collide will create opportunities for civic dialogue around some of the most urgent problems of our time by exploring past and present connections between art and science in a series of exhibitions, public programs, and other resources. Project topics range from climate change and environmental justice to the future of artificial intelligence and alternative medicine.
Pacific Standard Universe
This 23-minute digital film explores the ways people have represented the cosmos across time and cultures. Traditional diagrams and models of the universe may have been rooted in astronomical observation, but they were intended as symbolic images of cosmic order rather than accurate pictures of the universe. In ancient cosmologies the universe changed slowly, or not at all. In scientific cosmology, change is continuous. Though we now examine and express cosmology primarily through mathematics, we still routinely describe and explain it through metaphor, analogy, animation, and illustration, just as our ancestors did. Pacific Standard Universe explores how cosmological symbols from ancient times (the Aztec Calendar Stone or the Chumash pictographs of the San Fernando Valley) and the imagery produced by the observatories and aerospace industry of California have transformed our perception of the universe. The film, which is related to the cosmology exhibition at LACMA, makes its debut at the Griffith Observatory in 2024 and will become part of it's ongoing education program.
