Full Dome Projection Series

In partnership with the Friends of the David M. Brown Planetarium in my role as New Media Curator for Arlington Arts I created a commissioning series that created the opportunity for 4 regional artists to create unique Full Dome projections for the David M. Brown Planetarium over a two year period.

Arlington Arts in partnership with the Friends of the David M. Brown Planetarium present Babel: A Full Dome Projection by Kelley Bell, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 19 - 21, 2017, with multiple screenings occurring throughout the weekend. The event is FREE, but tickets are required through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/babel-a-fulldome-projection-by-kelley-bell-tickets-34215850530 Babel is an animated video by Baltimore City artist Kelley Bell. The soundtrack features the song “Many Horses” from For Stars and Atoms, an album by the excellent band Yeveto. Babel takes advantage of David M. Brown Planetarium’s domed ceiling to present a 5-minute tour of the iconic structures and institutions that boast this architectural feature, placing viewers beneath the oculus at Rome’s Pantheon; gazing up at the gorgeous lattices of Tilla Kari Madrasa in Uzbekistan, and our own nation’s Capitol Building, to name a few.

In the Midst of the Inferno: Jonathan Monaghan Full Dome Projection
April 20-22, 2018

In the Midst of the Inferno takes viewers on a journey through surreal and imaginative environments. We fly through spaces evoking science fiction and luxury apartments, witnessing security cameras, checkpoints and high end furniture. Monaghan's world is absurd and dystopian yet eerily familiar. Eliciting subconscious fears surrounding authority and wealth, Monaghan offers a critical reflection on power in the digital age.

The viewer starts off in a hellish pit, and journeys through spaces evoking science fiction and luxury apartments. Floating past surveillance cameras, security checkpoints and high end furniture, the journey ends as we emerge into a bright blue sky. Monaghan's world is absurd and dystopic yet eerily familiar. Eliciting subconscious fears surrounding authority and wealth, Monaghan offers a critical reflection on power in the digital age.
