The Archean

The Archean is derived from the ancient Greek "Αρχή" (Arkhē) which means "beginning, origin".



Now playing through November, the Archean Eon at the Turbine Hall! These tickets to the Sound Cannon show include a one hour sonic spectacle of volcanic eruptions, comet collisions, and audible cross sections of cratonic shields. A thousand buildings exist inside the Turbine Hall via sound cannons on lease from the US military. Walk around during the show and experience the various clouds of sound. At the finale, dynamite and pick axes will be projected on the cliff face of the plateau--the island’s own geologic origin exposed.
