Meeting place: Planet Earth

A suspended globe with visitors walking towards it from both directions. This composition gives an impression that the museum visitors are meeting at the Planet Earth. 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 - just upside down - or an antipodean pun of "Down Under On Top." 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.
