Review:
Skyspace: The Color Inside is a light and space installation created by artist James Turrell in a dome-like structure with an oculus open to the elements in the Student Activity Center. The room seats up to 27 people. Inside the room are lights that project colors onto the curved white ceiling in a way that looks like the sky is changing colors. The impression is fascinating, meditative, and slightly trippy. Turrell believes that his art should be watched only at sunrise and sunset, but since the center is not open at that time, the room is available for quiet contemplation during the day. Since 1970, Turrell has created 83 light and space installations across the globe.
