Residency : Astronomy

The residency invites artists to explore the cosmos through the lens of art, science, and technology. Hosted at the Antoine Thomas Astronomical Observatory of the University of Namur, the program provides a unique setting where scientific exploration meets artistic imagination.

Observing the Universe: Science & Exploration

The observatory, equipped with four telescopes—including Wallonia’s only high-definition solar telescope—enables the observation of celestial bodies, from the Sun-Earth-Moon system to distant galaxies. By filtering light pollution, it allows a deeper engagement with astronomical phenomena, revealing the hidden layers of the universe beyond human perception.

Artistic Research & Creation

The residency encourages artists to reinterpret scientific data and explore cosmic themes such as:

• Exoplanets, black holes, and gravity
• Space debris and the movement of celestial bodies
• Time, light, and space on a cosmic scale

By using AI, expanded light spectrum analysis, sound, and data-driven visuals, artists can transform astronomical observations into immersive visuals, sculptures, or sonic experiences. How might we rethink our relationship to the cosmos through artistic creation?
