About
Measuring six metres in diameter and created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface, the artwork provides the opportunity to view the planet, floating in three dimensions. It will be suspended, two metres up, giving visitors an opportunity to see the earth as astronauts see it from space and will fill the nave of Chelmsford Cathedral. Gaia will be open for visitors during the day and on selected evenings. During this time local environmental and eco organisations have been invited to provide interactive displays to encourage us to think about ways to protect our planet. In addition, visitors will be able to enjoy live music, talks and an evening of yoga against the spectacular backdrop of Gaia.
