In Starduster, a custodian sweeps the stars on the Sky Ceiling of Grand Central Terminal's main concourse. Equipped with a push broom, the custodian begins at one corner of the hall sweeping up flurries of "stardust" from the ceiling's golden constellations. Slowly, he traverses the barrel-vaulted ceiling, occasionally pausing to rest on the handle of his broom or to lie down for a celestial catnap. After a second custodian appears, both workers open virtual trap doors and exit into the astrological scape. KDLAB's Starduster explores how digital media can interact with the physical world and makes both the stars and our imaginations come to life.
