Media City

Image of the Lightwaves Floating Earth at Media City, Salford Quays.

 

Taken with Sony A6400 and 16-70mm lens at 39mm, 1.3 seconds at f5.6.

 

Measuring 10 metres in diameter and created from 1200dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, the awe-inspiring artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet floating in three dimensions.

 

Luke Jerram, UK artist known worldwide for his large-scale public artwork, has created this brand new work to give visitors a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

 

Featuring high tech NASA imagery and a surround-sound musical track by BAFTA award winning composer Dan Jones, the spellbinding artwork gives visitors to Lightwaves the chance to appreciate the beauty of our planet.
