Inploration is transforming how humanity connects with space through the groundbreaking Lunar Mission Control installation, developed with MIT's Space Exploration Initiative (SEI). Launching on February 26, 2025, this innovative installation merges art and science to create an immersive experience that brings real-time lunar operations to life through artistic expression. Featuring cutting-edge technologies like the AstroAnt robot and LiDAR data from the Moon, alongside interactive art projections and immersive design, this new approach to mission control not only showcases innovation but also sparks deeper reflection on our cosmic connection, making space exploration both meaningful and accessible to all.

Inploration produced a short film, Inploration, 2025, that gathers perspectives from 55 recorded interviews with artists, scientists, and thinkers reflecting on humanity’s relationship with space. Set against the Lunar Mission Control installation, the film presents perspectives from Lita Albuquerque, Nancy Baker Cahill, Cai Guo-Qiang, Dava Newman, and others. Their words, drawn from their work and experiences, offer a window into the ways art and science intersect in our understanding of the cosmos.
