AMNH Hosts Joshua Light Show: Fulldome June 3-5

Discover how the brain interprets light and sound with an after-hours visit to Brain: The Inside Story. Then, put your brain to the test in a multi-sensory experience in the Hayden Planetarium. New York's legendary Joshua Light Show presents Fulldome, an eye-popping, 360-degree work of light and sound that explores the neurological phenomenon synesthesia, or the blending of sensory experiences. Led by multimedia artist Joshua White, Joshua Light Show is noted for creating the hallucinatory visuals behind psychedelic rock bands such as "The Grateful Dead" and "The Who."

Fulldome will be performed live by Joshua White and his current team of artists, including Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters, Alyson Denny, Seth Kirby, Brock Monroe, Doug Pope, Bec Stupak, and noted illustrator Gary Panter. An original soundtrack features contributions from percussion artists Laraaji and Z'EV mixed with cosmic electronics by music director Nick Hallett and sound designer Jeff Cook, in addition to the neo-psychedelic rock of Oneida.

Rob DeSalle, curator of Brain: The Inside Story, will introduce the performance.
