Celestial Mechanics (2004)
By: Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne

Using 3D modeling, programming and digital painting, Celestial Mechanics debuted animation created for dome-shaped planetariums. Instead of stars, the ‘night sky’ program interpreted the paths, behaviors, and patterns of over 30,000 aerial technologies. Produced at UCLA, dozens of government, science and private agencies provided the raw mathematical data of nearly 50 airborne technologies. With sound design by George Lucas’ Skywalker Sound, the artwork won top awards in the field of art, science, and design. Featured in international technology and science magazines and exhibited in leading museums and science centers, the data-based animation was one of the first to visually address the proliferation of aerial traffic and is considered a landmark in the field of Information Arts.
