Im a Business development Specialist with experience in energy infrastructure but a passion for Art & Space. Throughout the years my job has been to identify opportunities in complimentary industries that would otherwise have no reason to connect. I started out by working with a European energy & civil works firm in West Africa. The company's diverse infrastructure portfolio meant there were a great deal of links and avenues to pursue. Since 2016, I became a consultant and decided to use my talents to try bringing together 2 sectors I'm exceptionally passionate about: Art & Cosmology. From henceforth, Exosphere was created; an organisation dedicated to promoting awareness about the Universe around us & our place within it. We do this through a process of experimentation with immersive technology.
Projects
- MOC: MUSEUM OF COSMOLOGYThe MOC (Museum of Cosmology) is an ambitious museum concept that aims to challenge the way people experience and learn about Space by infusing Science, Tech & the art of storytelling. The MOC is a curated space that celebrates the nature and beauty of the Cosmos, our place within it and our connection to it. The concept is unique in that it is the first museum dedicated exclusively to the subject of Cosmology and Theoretical Astrophysics. Having visited and studied a variety of Space Exhibits
- EXO-QūBEXO-QūB (ExoCube) is the operational name for our pop-up exhibition on Cosmology & Storytelling. A nomadic prototype of the Museum of Cosmology. The concept was to create a mobile attraction that could be set up in any closed, unused space with access to power and basic utilities, using as few assets as possible. The exhibit consisted of a small classroom, multiple projectors, two large tablets, an HTC Vive VR headset, and a live actor/narrator. We combined all these elements to create an ephereal, isolated space that the audience could interact with, learn from and enjoy at the same time. The purpose was to highlight the versatility of our vision through technology & basic stroytelling.
