SPACE: TransLuminal, Beyond the Speed of Light
It all began a year ago in an Acrylic Painting class.
Many hundreds of hours later and involving the collaboration of over two hundred students, faculty and staff from various programs and departments, and student teams from Cinema-Communications, Community Recreation Leadership Training, Electronics Engineering Technology, Illustration & Design, Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering Technology and Visual Arts, the Transluminal mural has been permanently installed in the 4A/4B corridor.
S.P.A.C.E. (Sciences Participating in Arts and Culture in Education) invites you to visit the mural, and if you participated in painting one of the sections of the mural to find your piece amongst the many and rejoice in it.
S.P.A.C.E. would like to give a heartfelt thanks to the numerous people involved in the co-creation of the TransLuminal mural: the many people involved in the creating, photographing and filming of the project; the faculty mentors; Plant and Facilities; the Printshop; the Student Success Action Plan and Dawson College itself, without whose support the project would not have been possible.

“So what does it mean to be TransLuminal? To cross this boundary of physical law requires a leap of imagination. While each contribution, as a signature to the piece, is a single leap into that unknown outer outer space beyond the known universe, when illuminated together they fuse into larger answers to the question. This can be observed in each technical and creative process instrumental to the creation of TransLuminal, for we are capable of so much more in communion with others than when left alone to ponder the vast voids and undulations of our life in the Cosmos.”
