Waves: Listening to the Cosmos

The world premiere performance of Ben Skepper’s self-initiated, multi-sensory work draws directly from raw gravitational wave data recorded by the
international LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA scientific community: translating black hole mergers into a richly spatialized immersive soundscape. This premiere also marks a rare instance of an artist led interaction at a leading scientific summit, embodying a new model of public engagement at the frontier of art, physics, and immersive experience.
