The Bailey-Salgado Project is an audiovisual ensemble formed in 2010 by musician and composer Tom Bailey (Thompson Twins/Babble, International Observer) and Adler Planetarium astronomer and visual artist José Francisco Salgado. They combine music with photography, video, and motion graphics to create multimedia works that have as subject the physical world.

Their goal is to communicate science through art and inspire audience members to learn more about Earth and the Universe. Their presentations feature high-definition video projection, live and pre-recorded music, as well as short introductions to the science content and creative process behind their works.
