The psychedelic imagery of Android Jones has earned the artist a devoted world-wide following. Now you can travel through Jones' fantastical animated dreamscapes in this immersive fulldome planetarium show "Samskara," powered by Flandrau's state-of-the-art fulldome digital projection system. With a hypnotic soundtrack from British electronic music producer and sound designer Tipper (electronica, trip-hop), "Samskara" will take you on a mesmerizing journey to another dimension.

Samskara is the Hindu word for a ritual that marks a major life event. Jones, inspired by travels in India, draws on imagery from Hindu scriptures for his digital fantasy art, interwoven with images of animals and patterns and textures from nature.

"Samskara" will be presented in combination with another animated art planetarium show called "Art Universe" that highlights the work of Jones and several other contemporary visual artists including Craola, Chris Saunders, and Risk.

Please note: Fulldome visuals can create dramatic sensations of motion, which may make some viewers feel uncomfortable. This show is intended for adult audiences.
