This page is just a dump for images related to the project as we make them.

most of these images are just working images and sketches - Please DON'T reproduce these image or use them in press or publicity material, or even link to them without our permission - if you need to use an image for something get in touch with us. We'll be happy to help, but we have to keep control of where these images are used for various (quite important) reasons. Thanks for your understanding.

Visualisations  
An inverted version of the panorama below - It won't look anything like this in the actual installation, but we thought it was sexier for a still.Looks like some kind of medical imaging, I think.
Panorama image generated using the planetarium program to create the star scape. Various ideas for the look of the creatures are overlayed on top in (hopefully) a reasonably accurate visualisation of the final thing. Company names have been removed from this image because it has been generated from dummy data and we don't want to piss anyone off. Especially if they can afford scary lawyers. Does anyone out there know the legal situation about this ? We'd like to put the names back in if we can be reassured that we're not doing anything which could get us into expensive trouble.
First image using the actual program to generate the stars. In this image the stars etc. are being calculated by the plantarium program, the creatures are sketches for a visual style.
Another dome visualisation. trying to get the atmosphere of the installation.
Visualisation of a view into the dome (using the original star map sketch, and with no distortion correction on the projector). Wide view.
