JUPITER's goal is not to provide an ultimate answer, but to start a dialogue. It succeeds.

Deborah Heineman, Berkshire Fine Arts

Haunting and beautifully delivered [...] with extraordinary purpose and aplomb. The deeply moving JUPITER delivers its message in an insightful and powerful evening, and beyond.

Ray Morgovan, Off Off Online

Unlike most climate change-related art, JUPITER doesn't fall strictly on the alarmist side of the argument about the state of our planet. Rather, we are left with [...] a renewed optimism.

Julia Buntaine, Sci Art Magazine

Before retreating to the planet Jupiter, a young tycoon overhauls the entire energy system on Earth. His imposed vision promises to halt climate change, but demands costly sacrifices from all citizens of the world. A trio inspired by Frankenstein and energy policy that asks if we should impose radical societal change for the greater good, JUPITER is a 200-year-long dialogue between Jove and the representation of Humanity.
