An illuminated artwork called Gaia has been installed in the heart of the Old Library at Trinity College and has fast become one of the top things to see in Dublin.
The installation features NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, showcasing the planet floating in three dimensions as it might be viewed from space. Perfectly positioned under the Long Room’s barrel vaulted ceiling, Gaia mesmerizes visitors from all angles.
