Multiverse is an audiovisual installation that explores the evolution of infinite possible universes through the use of generative graphics and sounds. The work lays its foundations on Lee Smolin’s theory - observing that our universe is only one in a much larger cosmos (the Multiverse), a member of a growing community of universes, each one being born from the collapse following the formation of a black hole. The work evolves through the creation of a succession of digital paintings, attempting to represent the eternal birth and death of infinite parallel universes.

The original form of Multiverse aims to heighten the perception of reality by giving the impression that the installation is going beyond the physical space, and the dome is the perfect fit to keep exploring this direction. After two studies presented in Taiwan (2020) and Mexico (2022), Multiverse .dome was premiered in its final form at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Berlin in 2023.

MULTIVERSE
The dome adaptation follows the same narrative structure of the original project, which develops around the multiverse theory of the American theoretical physicist, Lee Smolin. According to this theory our universe is only one in a much larger cosmos (the Multiverse), a member of a growing community of universes, each one being born from the collapse following the formation of a black hole. During this event, the values of certain parameters of the physical laws are reprogrammed and slightly modified.

Similarly, each scene of the installation does not repeat itself in the same form. After thirty minutes the previous sequence of steps carrying the genetic information of the last passage triggers an evolutionary transition and the exploration of new possibilities through the modification of the so-called fundamental parameters. The generative nature of the system allows the creation of infinite variations that cyclically follow one another during the life of the artwork.
