This seems like a very interesting project, but the website kinda reads like a mad-person wrote it with the bizarre(to me) rhetoric about space and time and somewhat poor quality 3-D renderings. Clearly a lot of people are interested and invested in this project and making this space. Could anyone give a good explanation of what this project is/where this fits in modern art/science exploration?

It is a naked-eye observatory built in the cinder cone of a volcano. A place very far from light pollution where you can stand in a comfortable place and look up to behold the heavens. James Turell's pieces are all about the feeling of being in an "other" sort of plane, so you can expect a lot of trippy rooms inside the facility that will make you question what it means to exist. Or that's what happened to me inside of one of his pieces, anyway.

Thank you for this very nice response, that does sound more interesting!
