bluedot has played host to many intriguing art installations over the years, attracting a spectrum of talented artists, from art-school graduates right through to internationally acclaimed, seasoned professionals. The Lovell Telescope itself is annually transformed into a gargantuan, audio-visual light art installation – you can find out more about it here

Across the site, each of our artists interpret the ethos of Bluedot in their own unique way, challenging the audience to “observe – explore – experiment”. Past festivals have welcomed installations in all shapes and sizes, from ‘Colony’, a collection of supersized, huggable, singing orbs; ‘Talk the Skies’, an enormous, digitally programmed column of shooting light, which reacted to audiences singing, to the World premiere of Gaia by Luke Jerram, an enormous, hyper-realistic Earth, created using NASA imagery taken from the International Space Station.
