New York's new darling starry dome

The planetarium at the Girls Club - what makes it so special is not just that it's the newest, sharpest planetarium in town, with a perfectly seamless perforated metal dome, but that it's programming goes far beyond the night sky. Dave Pentecost, the dome's curator, embraces experimental film and new media, and the planetarium serves as a honey pot: attracting artists with the opportunity to create and compose for New York's only readily accessible hemispherical theater.  These visiting artists then share their work with the girls, and everyone wins.

Here's the planetarium in the New York Times.
