Radical Compromise @ Vitensenteret i Trondheim

Lars Pedersen [NO] (1985) is a chemist and educator that got thrusted into the strange world of immersive media when he assumed the role of planetarium manager in 2017.

Planetariums and dome cinemas act as enticing canvases that can showcase what’s well-known in new and exciting ways and show things that wouldn’t really make sense on a flat screen. His greatest joy is introducing this technology to guests and collaborators and to push the boundaries of what’s expected of a planetarium in a science center setting.
