public projection at the Palazzo Franchetti - Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, 2010
impression from the presentation in Venice 2010
From the Distant Past was part of the exhibition "The Hubble Space Telescope
twenty years at the frontier of science" at Palazzo Loredan which was organized in the context of the HST3 conference which took place from 11-14 October 2010 at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti.
Coordinated with the laser projection of the spectra on the Baroque facade of the Palazzo, the image of the corresponding star, galaxy or quasar was projected onto the lawn in the Franchetti garden. The images were projected by a special process emphasizing the very nature of the images captured with just a few hundred pixels.
