This December, visitors to the Buhl Planetarium at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will have mitosis and meiosis served up in the dark, in 3-D, and in their faces. Wired with Cinematrix paddles, the collective audience will be able to rotate cells and navigate through cellular membranes, witnessing video images and computer graphics of cells moving and dividing. The goal of "Into the Cell," according to the project's artistic director, Rob Fisher, is to transport people to their inner universes, where they'll experience how the elemental structures of life function, develop, organize, behave, and communicate.
After the premiere of "Into the Cell" in Pittsburgh, the cell-biology show hits the road. Coming soon to a planetarium near you. For further information, contact Fisher at rnf1+@andrew.cmu.edu.
