Dark the movie
Alan Duffy
Dark is a fulldome planetarium movie that I created along with data visualisation guru Professor Paul Bourke and legend director Peter Morse after a chance meeting. Rather than wait for the science to come from the simulations and only after that create something for the public we wanted them to go hand in hand. It is based on dark matter simulations (essentially baby universes I created within supercomputers) and the latest efforts from the next-gen Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. The end result was a planetarium show that we could release free for download to ensure smaller venues around the world could show. As of August 2015 is has been shown in 148 planetariums in 25 countries and translated into 6 languages.
