We're a group of artists and astrophysicists at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Together, we're creating High Z, an immersive installation based on the 2011 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe. Follow us to get a behind the scenes look at our process. Led by Canadian sisters, writer Naima Kristel Phillips and astrophysicist Dr. Lara Arielle Phillips, High Z is an international collaboration with astrophysicist Dr. Keith Davis and theatre artists David Bengali, Fatma Sarah Elkashef, and Dr. Yael Prizant. Join us as we explore the abilities of art and astronomy to inform, inspire and transform human interactions. This project is possible thanks to generous support from the following organizations. Funding:
Canada Council for the Arts
Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts

Luksic Foundation, University of Notre Dame
Partners:

We would also like to thank members of the High-Z Supernova Search Team for sharing their time and stories.
