Created by Colorado artist Chris Bagley, Space command is an immersive installation with a whimsical approach to the atomic age. Visitors are invited to probe the boundless mysteries of space by wandering and immersing their senses through sight, sound, and touch as they take in the wonders of “cosmic” debris—both familiar and foreign.

The installation repurposes vintage scientific equipment, Mylar, and other space-age materials to create an interactive environment with emanating light, pulsing sound, and rotating objects. Visitors are encouraged to investigate its many layers and experience the optical illusions. In this altered reality, challenge your perceptions of the real and the unknown, spark your imagination, and consider limitless possibilities yet to be explored.

With an eye on culture’s periphery, Denver-based artist and filmmaker Chris Bagley melds light and color to produce dreamy op-art inspired “visual scapes”.

Bagley won the Chicago International Film Festival’s prestigious Gold Hugo for his codirecting of the 2008 documentary Wesley Willis’s Joyrides, about revered Chicago cult musician and street artist. In 2015, he was featured as one of Westword’s 100 Colorado Creatives. Bagley’s works have been shown at the Clyfford Still Museum as well as Rule Gallery, RedLine Contemporary Art Center, Pirate: Contemporary Art, The Maven Hotel, Arvada Center, Alto Gallery, Museum of Outdoor Arts, Understudy, Experience Gallery, Denver Art Museum, and Meow Wolf.

Bagley’s video work includes Fringe Art of the Front Range displayed at Denver International Airport, a Colorado Public Television short featuring Denver’s Casa Bonita, and music videos for the underground rap group Wheelchair Sports Camp.

In the art installations Interactive Infinity loop, Moving mona, and the World builder series, colorful, mirror-image projections and backlit, lenticular prints are a kaleidoscopic impression of reality, bordering on the hallucinogenic.
