Museum of Science in Boston Opens William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common
Ars Electronica Solutions has expanded its international Deep Space network with the opening of the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common at the Museum of Science in Boston. Opened on Saturday, October 10, the approximately 930-square-meter area features two Deep Spaces, marking the first implementation of the Linz technology in the United States.
The two immersive rooms operate independently or link together to host larger programs. Large-scale wall and floor projections, three-dimensional visuals, tracking systems, and spatial audio form the environment for science, dialogue and shared experiences. Continuous access runs alongside curated live programming designed to connect visitors with researchers and artists.
Global Expansion of Ars Electronica Deep Space Platforms
The original Deep Space platform launched in January 2009 at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab. Ars Electronica Solutions began adapting the platform for international locations in 2020. The expanding global network now includes installations across Austria, Mexico, China, Switzerland, Croatia, Hungary, Singapore, and Kosovo.
The Boston debut coincides with the October 9 opening of Deep Space “Visio” at the Museum and Science Centre Tiima in Oulu, Finland. Both locations expand the reach of the platform in 2026. Michael Mondria, Managing Director of Ars Electronica Solutions, stated that the network aims to open new pathways to science and art while connecting people across cultural boundaries.
