It measures seven meters in diameter, features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface, at an approximate scale of 1:500,000 – meaning each centimeter of the internally lit sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. Step into a SPACE ODYSSEY. This immersive installation by acclaimed French visual artist Etienne Rey is presented in association with France-Atlanta. It allows guests to explore the components of light, sound, and space. A stroboscopic journey to the heart of light as a material, SPACE ODYSSEY is a reference to the Stanley KUBRICK film. A new mural by French street artist DIFUZ will be located on Pryor Street, near the Kenny’s Alley entrance. The artwork features characters that are weightless, linked through cultural movements representing street, pop, and hip hop culture.
