This remarkable, immersive mixed-reality documentary about space-time, narrated by Tony Stark (yes, that’s his real name) of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, places a hologram of the viewer inside an observatory with the astrophysicist and allows them, in real time, to manipulate the laws of relativity, black holes, and curved space-time while he expounds upon the scientific phenomena.

Supported by swissnex San Francisco, Dart 17, and Pro Helvetia.
