We Are In Light is is real-time visualization and sonification of magnetospheric activity in an 11-acre forest.

Using real-time data from NASA and NOAA, the installation creates light and sound based on magnetospheric activity that happens around the Earth. As solar flares well up 92 million miles from Earth, they cast an invisible wash of plasmic energy across the solar system. We can only see this energy occasionally as it collides with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. It is an awe-inspiring connection to our sun, the solar system, the universe, and the vastness of space.

Special thanks to Ethan Rainbolt, Creative Direction and Technical Lead.
