Curiosity is one of the most powerful and laudable human drives: it drives exploration, investigation and learning. The Eye of the Sun installation combines science, technology, imagination and daydreaming to target the special relationship that humans have with the cosmos.
A gigantic eye whose behavior is similar to that of the human eye, it highlights our thirst for knowledge and discovery of our environment. Curious, the Eye observes and follows with its gaze the visitors who arrive and approach. He is sensitive to their gestures, to their touch. Engaging, it fits with the curiosity shown by some of the visitors and it allows them to see the Sun that we never see, at its ultraviolet extremes.
An intriguing outing, which should excite young and old alike! A wonderful family visit awaits you.
