They belong to a body of works that is dealing with different kinds of visual representations of the Earth, our solar system and the universe. The concept of the Night Sky is based on a space travel simulation software called Celestia, which is used in planetariums. The lightning of the stars and planets is based on algorithms and commands that the artist programmed. Photo © Art Basel Photography
