The large suspended globe in the foreground and a suspended pathway in the background. The composition gives an impression that the museum visitors are entering into the Earth, perhaps even boarding an Earthly spaceship. Photo taken at Miraikan - the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. At the moment the photo was taken the projection shows a satellite image of the Earth. There are many tesselated tiles - electroluminescent panels - that make up the projection, utilizing over 10 million pixels. The background of image turned black-and-white but globe remains coloured.
