Opening Night: The Terapixel Panorama

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Experience the Terapixel Panorama with all your senses during the opening night, and explore the history and future of art pieces.

The Terapixel Panorama is the 1.6-trillion-pixel digital twin of the 19th-century Murten Panorama painting, created by the EPFL Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) in Switzerland to be the largest digital image of a physical object ever made.

Launched in 2025, the project used a Phase One 150MP camera to capture over 27,000 images, which were then stitched together to create an immersive, ultra-high-resolution viewing experience online and in physical installations.

Beyond a feat of technology, it exposes the delicate balance between preservation and impermanence. Once hidden in storage, the monumental canvas now resurfaces through conservation, scanning, and sensory augmentation--inviting us to explore not only detail and context, but also the layers of history, memory, and fragility embedded in the work.

Sarah Kenderdine and Sara Velas will explore the history and future of panoramas--from their 19th-century role as immersive storytelling media to their reinvention in digital form today--and discuss how these vast images continue to shape the ways we experience memory, place, and history.

Join us for the opening night of the exhibition and experience the Terapixel Panorama with all your senses.
