An Earth Twin at the Digital Dawn: Tom Van Sant's GeoSphere Project
MARCH 6 – APRIL 18
Opening Reception:
Thursday, March 6, 2025, 6-8 pm
In 1988, when computer simulations were rudimentary experiments and before the World Wide Web existed, Tom Van Sant began the GeoSphere Project. He aimed to build an accurate, interactive, awe-inspiring replica of Earth that would make its ecosystems visible and bring humankind together to know, love, and care for our planet.
Working at technology's outermost reaches, Van Sant and his scientist-collaborator Dr. L. Van Warren created a groundbreaking work of art, science, and technology that prefigured today's “digital twins” by two decades, influenced environmental policy, demonstrated an environmentally driven post-Cold War function for military technology, and paved the way for Google Earth.
Curated by Janet Owen Driggs, An Earth Twin at the Digital Dawn is produced by 18th Street Arts Center, Otis College of Art and Design, and Cypress College.
