Experience Gaia
in the Old Library

In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth. The artist’s intention is to draw attention to planetary health, inspiring visitors to question their individual and collective role in caring for the Earth.

Gaia features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, showcasing the planet floating in three dimensions as it might be viewed from space.

Artist Luke Jerram said:, ‘I designed Gaia to prompt the difficult discussions we all need to have about the environment and what we, as individuals and wider society, can do to make our lifestyles more sustainable. And so, it is very fitting that Gaia will be displayed in Trinity College Dublin while the Old Library undergoes this landmark conservation project.’
