BODY at Millennium Park
Beakerhead’s feature attraction comes from UK outdoor arts company Walk the Plank. BODY is an immersive after-dark installation that brings you on a journey through the systems of the human body. BODY uses the latest technology to create a deeper understanding of the science of the human form through light, sound, special effects and fire. BODY has been shown at Northern Ireland’s Science Festival and Ireland’s National Science week.
