The Experientialists

Planet Earth III Live sounds like Mother Nature’s way of reminding us who’s boss. With an LED screen bigger than your living room and music by Hans Zimmer performed by the the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, it promises to make every leaf flutter seem epic. Trek from the sweltering Namib desert to the freezing Arctic, gawking at ostriches and wolves in visuals so stunning all timed to the symphony's orchestral maneuvers in nature... you’ll feel like Tarzan in a tux.

And that is HyperSpace’s goal: to conjure up a space so immersive you'll forget you came to buy socks.

MUTEK is throwing a 25th-anniversary bash that’s part digital art rave, part treasure hunt. The Village Numérique, running from August 15-29 in Montreal, turns the city into an open-air gallery with 20 installations at iconic spots like St-Laurent Boulevard and Place des Arts.

Chris Freeman of WNDR Museum argues that the future of museums lies in thrilling sensory-rich experiences rather than snooze-inducing static displays. In this interview with Matt Carmichael, Freeman explains he aims to create exhibits that make you feel, touch, and even taste the art, leaving you in awe and wonder. Freeman’s biggest challenge? Shaking off the "selfie museum" tag, while striving to balance shareable content with genuine artistic engagement. But why can't museums be thrilling, thought-provoking, and also oh-so-shareable without losing their artistic soul? https://lnkd.in/eWxSbwBW
