About Mars: War and Peace:
Measuring seven metres in diameter, the artwork features detailed NASA imagery of the Martian surface. At an approximate scale of 1:1 million, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 10 kilometres of the surface of Mars.
Accompanying the Mars sculpture is a newly created sound composition by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. Featuring the sounds of seas, deserts and clips from NASA missions to Mars, it also incorporates the sounds of distant bombing and people marching, as if to war.
Luke Jerram's Mars: War and Peace is also available to see during Cathedral opening hours. There is no booking required to view the artwork during the day. Entry is by voluntary donation.
