Phoebe Bridgers is bringing her universe to Arizona — twice. The four-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is previewing her 54-minute album, "Lost Weekend", at planetariums worldwide, including the University of Arizona's Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, and the Arizona Science Center's Dorrance Dome. This phone-free experience, designed to lock devices in Yondr pouches, is a unique way to engage with Bridgers' music. The laser-show version of "Lost Weekend" at Flandrau, designed by Laser Fantasy's Jay Heck, is a kaleidoscopic, custom-built visual world synced to every track. The full-dome rendition at the Arizona Science Center, created by National Geographic night-sky photographer Babak Tafreshi, stitches together two decades of nocturnal landscapes from nearly 20 countries. The response to these events has been overwhelming, with both venues selling out quickly. This unique collaboration between an artist and planetariums highlights the growing awareness of domes and immersive spaces as cultural venues, marking a significant moment for planetariums and their potential as spaces for immersive experiences.
