On Sept. 13, ARTECHOUSE DC, located on Maryland Avenue SW, premiered Twilight Zone: Hidden Wonders of the Ocean, an immersive exhibition that takes viewers below the ocean surface.
This exhibition combines life-sized visuals and an original musical score to create a captivating cinematic audio-visual experience. Celebrating the strangeness and wonder of this underwater world, the exhibition showcases the vital role the twilight zone plays in our planet’s health and ecosystem.
“Artechouse has partnered with prestigious scientific organizations to bring some of the most captivating scientific mysteries to life with our unique artistic vision,” said Sandro Kereselidze, Founder & Chief Creative Officer of ARTECHOUSE in a press release. “This fall, we are thrilled to partner with [Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution] to once again transform science into art with this mesmerizing exhibition delving into the mysteries of the deep.”
The ocean’s twilight zone stretches about 200 to 1,000 meters deep across the global ocean. Many twilight zone inhabitants, numbering in the trillions, travel to and from surface waters to feed each night, making this the largest migration on the planet. From microscopic microbes to gargantuan plankton, jellies, and fish, these creatures possess amazing adaptations for the extreme environment of the twilight zone.
Tickets are $15-35 with special pricing for families Monday–Friday. For more information, visit https://www.artechouse.com/.
