It's a really big construction, massive piece of engineering.
The way that you see the sky and the changing of the colour of the sky is really interesting because it is about how James Turrell works with our perception entirely.
And you can actually only see those changing colours of the sky with your eyes.
So if you try and take a photo of that with your camera, you can't capture the colour you're seeing with your eye.
And that's because there's something medical, maybe biological, that's going on in your eyes that he understands and is playing with that means that the sky, even though it's grey outside, it's often grey in Denmark...
Even though it's grey outside, you're seeing a brilliant cobalt blue sky.
You're seeing a bright, vivid green sky or yellow sky, etc., as you experienced.
And that is something to do with the way the interior programmed light plays on your field of vision, which means that it changes the colour of the sky.
And everything is meticulously timed.
I was in there with James programming in January, and he has two watches.
where he's watching infinitesimal changes in the light, natural light of the sky, and changing the programming of the interior light at the same time.
And it is a marvel to behold.
Technically, there are over 1,100 special lamps set into the interior of the bench, which you sit around in the dome, which light up the space.
And right at the very centre, where the Oculus is, directly beneath it, you'll have seen there was this kind of polished granite marble surface.
And around that, there is something called an electric edge, which James especially wanted.
In a dome of this size, you kind of need it.
It's very, very specially created lighting lamps which light the very edge of the Oculus and make it kind of razor sharp so that you see that distinction between the light of the sky and the interior of the dome.
But, you know, in a way, it's kind of very analogue because it's not something that can... You can't experience that digitally.
You can't experience that through some kind of technology.
You have to experience it yourself in person with your eyes and...
