Toni Dove: Sunjammer 6 – A Tale Blown by a Solar Breeze
Toni Dove , internationally known innovator in the field of emerging technology and pioneer of interactive cinema presents Sunjammer 6: A Tale Blown by a Solar Breeze. This innovative fusion of sculpture, game, cinema, and performance invites viewers into a poetic and dreamlike experience. An AI driven instrument tells the story of Hypatia, a Hellenistic astronomer and philosopher, who returns as a ghost ten years in our future and encounters a NASA engineer building an off-world power station. They connect across time using mathematics and physics. The core of Hypatia is a hybrid AI that interacts with viewer-operators, creating the illusion of a complex personality. Set in the Schwarzman Center’s iconic Dome, by day the work engages audiences in a dynamic narrative installation activated by their movements, making them part of the story. A longer narrative version is performed by dancer/operators for two evening events. January 5-15, 2026.
