The Earth Observatory is a speculative public art work. Unlike many observatories that look out to the stars, this observatory is envisaged as a type of mirror that reflects a living, real- time, constantly-changing portrait of Earth back to humanity. In the tradition of ancient stone labyrinth structures that have been 'walked' by people around the world for centuries and used as a contemplative tool, the intent is for the observatory to be a site of pilgrimage and ritual which invites us to reflect on our place in space and time, not just conceptually but viscerally as a whole body experience.
