What lies at the universe's edge? Imagine being a time-space traveler, journeying from the very beginning of the cosmos through billions of light-years to arrive at present-day Earth. What kind of experience would that be?
On January 10th, the "Cosmic Archaeology—Exploring the Universe Through Art & Science" exhibition opened at the Guangdong Science Center, offering such an experience.
The exhibition starts with the "Star Mapping Sculpture," an art installation resembling a spaceship, crafted from perforated aluminum plates from the retired Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project. It takes viewers on a journey to the far reaches of the universe.
The exhibit "Gravitational Lens" brings the known real starry sky onto the screen. By manipulating the "lens" representing a massive celestial body, you can observe how it "pushes away" each part of the starry sky.
The film "Archaeology of Light" simulates a flight through the entire universe, surpassing the speed of light and transcending the limits of time and space, to reach the farthest end of the universe and witness the scene of the Big Bang. After this 21-minute journey, you will refresh your deep understanding of the history of the universe.
The interactive image "The Dynamic Universe" provides an immersive experience with a 27-order-of-magnitude zoom, simulating the universe's endless mysteries.
Originating from EPFL Pavilions in Switzerland, "Cosmic Archaeology" follows light's path from deep space to Earth, blending art and science to explore the universe's origins, to understand how large astronomical devices look into the deep space, and whether we can glimpse our own destiny elsewhere in the universe.
Utilizing extensive astrophysical databases, the exhibition features interactive data simulation and visualization, immersive projections, mechanical devices, and augmented reality, acclaimed for its scientific and artistic fusion in Switzerland. The Guangdong Science Center is the second stop of the exhibition's global tour. This exhibition features 20 works from 13 artists (groups) from seven countries: Switzerland, France, Germany, the US, Canada, Russia, and China.
This special pre-Spring Festival exhibition runs until May 2025 at the Guangdong Science Center.

穿越138亿年 看到宇宙还是“婴儿”的样子
在宇宙的边缘，你会看到什么？成为一名时空旅行者，从宇宙蒙昧之初，穿梭亿万光年，来到当下的地球，将是一种什么样的体验？
1月10日，“宇宙考古-探索时空的科学艺术之旅”在广东科学中心正式开展。每个人都将在这里，获得关于这个宇宙的感悟。
走进展厅，首先映入眼帘的是由艺术家使用退役的斯隆数字巡天项目（SDSS）穿孔铝板创作的动态艺术装置——《巡星雕塑》。这一雕塑，貌似一艘太空船，带着观者前往更遥远的宇宙深处。
而展品《引力透镜》则将人类已知的真实星空搬上了屏幕，当你操控着代表大质量天体的“透镜”时，就能观察到它“推开”每一片星空的样子。
影片《光之考古》更是模拟了在整个宇宙中的飞行，超越光速，超越时空限制，来到宇宙的最远端，看到宇宙大爆炸的景象。经过这21分钟的穿梭，你会刷新对宇宙历史的深度理解。
互动影像《动态宇宙》则提供了一种沉浸式感官体验，以高达27个数量级的缩放功能，对宇宙进行高仿真模拟，展现宇宙可无尽探索的神秘特性。
据介绍，“宇宙考古-探索时空的科学艺术之旅”展源于瑞士EPFL艺术科学馆（EPFL Pavilions），展览追随光的轨迹，从极遥远的深空出发，直到回归地球表面，通过作品将艺术与科学融合在一起，让观众理解宇宙的起源是什么，大型天文装置如何望向深空，我们能否在宇宙他处窥见自身的命运。
展览基于庞大的天体物理数据库创作了一系列交互式数据模拟界面和可视化沉浸式投影、机动装置和增强现实等作品，以其天文的科学性和艺术的创新性，在瑞士广受好评。广东科学中心是该展览全球巡展第二站。此次展览共展出20件作品，分别出自瑞士、法国、德国、美国、加拿大、俄罗斯和中国7个国家的13位（组）艺术家。
该展览作为科学中心在春节前推出的特别展览，将在广东科学中心展出至2025年5月份。
