Puerto Ricans call their home “La Isla del Encanto” or the island of enchantment. They are proud of their country and eager to show it off.

A team from the Arizona Science Center’s Dorrance Dome witnessed that first-hand while creating “Art 360: A Bad Bunny Visual Album” in December. 

“It was fantastic, such a beautiful place,” said Alec Warren, director of Dorrance Dome experiences and planetarium director. “The thing I was most impressed with is how proud the people of Puerto Rico are of where they’re from. They’re so proud of their island and culture.”

The Arizona Science Center team is honoring top-selling Super Bowl halftime show veteran Bad Bunny with a 16K immersive Dorrance Dome presentation through July. “Art 360: A Bad Bunny Visual Album” is a homegrown 40-minute experience culled from more than 500 360-degree photos from the coasts to the mountains. From there, they stitched them into a visual album. They layered those images with Taino symbols, Puerto Rican wildlife, instruments and visual cues pulled from Bad Bunny’s catalog. Licensing keeps his face off the dome — but the show is built to feel like something he’d nod at, Warren said. 

Tickets start at $20.

“He’s probably the biggest artist in the world right now,” Warren said, adding Bad Bunny’s music carries a sense of place — Puerto Rico as pulse, backdrop and thesis.

“We wanted to be respectful of and celebratory of the culture, the people, the history of Puerto Rico.”

Warren said that after hosting yoga sessions and K-Pop kids’ dance parties, he realized the space could be used in other ways. Warren wanted something that actually used that power, rather than just projecting stars. The dome’s LED screen has five times the pixel count per square inch as Las Vegas’ Sphere. 

The experience runs about 40 minutes: a 10‑minute pre‑show with behind‑the‑scenes footage and interactive bits, followed by a 30‑minute main program set to tracks from Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana and a few earlier hits. It’s less “planetarium show” and more “reggaetón baptism.” 

Warren doesn’t mind the Sphere comparison — he leans into it. The Dome seats 200, not thousands, which means the immersion is tighter, louder and more personal.

“We hope that people actually feel the need to get up and dance.”
