The Happiest Thought (2019)

More than 250 million years ago, the largest known mass extinction in the Earth’s history occurred and up to 90 percent of the planet’s life was annihilated. “The Happiest Thought” is the first fulldome piece of visual artist Agnieszka Polska and revives the Earth’s destroyed biosphere in the most poetic of ways. Her point of departure is the ‘happiest thought’ of the physicist Albert Einstein that inspired him to formulate his general theory of relativity in 1915. Einstein’s text is sung by the American performance artist Geo Wyeth and thus becomes part of a hypnotically enchanting séance.
