Invisible Worlds at the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation
Invisible Worlds is an immersive and interactive 360-degree science-and-art experience in the new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation that offers a breathtakingly beautiful view into how all life on Earth is connected. Invisible Worlds invites visitors into a wide, oval space with 23-foot-high walls, a mirrored ceiling, and an interactive floor. The venue’s 16 projectors provide a resolution of more than 100 million pixels and are complemented by 62 speakers accompanying the visuals with a soundtrack derived from nature and sonified data.
Page, as Executive Architect in collaboration with Design Architect Studio Gang, designed the architectural accommodations, service, and support infrastructure and coordinated structural and technical requirements for the groundbreaking space.
Invisible Worlds was curated and produced by the American Museum of Natural History and scientific advisors from around the world. The theater was designed by Tamschick Media+Space with Boris Micka Associates.
Immersive & interactive experience
A 12-minute looping, immersive experience illustrates interdependences within Earth’s ecosystems, celebrating the richness of life’s diversity and the basic building blocks that connect all living things. At key moments, visitors are drawn into the story as their own movements affect the dynamic projections at their feet.
“From the brand-new atrium to the state-of-the-art research library to the impressive theater, the Gilder Center will quickly become a mainstay for both tourists and residents.”Assembly Member Linda B. Rosenthal
