It’s basically a Digital Blasphemy-esque screensaver that’s been divvied up into shorts and played on different TVs as you walk through a haunted house maze of rooms. If you can find it, you get to the end and there’s two warehouses that have the screen playing on all four walls and sometimes the floor. They give you pillows and stuff to lay on the ground but it’s not projected on the ceiling so that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Plus none of these surfaces are cleaned- including the VR goggles later, those were gross. Basically you just need to come up with a designated hand holder and everybody else in the group get pretty baked and go to this. But if you’re looking for anything actually science, this isn’t it. It’s a gorgeous piece of art, but it’s all about how it’s displayed in the space rather than as a screensaver you could buy and play between YouTube videos.
And the girl that let us in (late), although gorgeous, literally grunted by way of letting us know we could enter now. Not a very warm welcome. Though it’s very hot throughout the exhibition- so pick up the map at the front desk and use it as a fan.
As an IT person it was ok. The one part that really bothered me was the poor rendering on the water in Section 7. It moved up and down rather than to and away from shore. And when it started raining- the water surface was not affected. Continuity matters.
