Through a Glass Darkly celebrates our exploration of the Universe. Its grandeur is humbling from our simple human perpective. Telescopes and microscopes uncover the complexity of the micro- and macro- cosmos. The year 2009 marks 400 years since Galileo's discoveries through the telescope, which transformed not only scientific worldviews but also our context in the Universe.

Art created for Through a Glass Darkly celebrates Galileo's work and the subsequent discoveries he spawned, while reminding us that despite technological advances, our knowledge of the Universe is still limited. This collaborative exhibition questions how our construction of knowledge impacts humanity, society and the individual.
