ASTROPORT
Installation
Information
ASTROPORT is an immersive installation that recreates a interplanetary airport that brings visitors to space. Mixing science and poetry, the paths will take visitors to float in a swimming pool made with a waterproof virtual reality headset, while breathing through a snorkel. This aquatic VR experience simulates space travel, giving the illusion of being immersed in the surface of the moon and the sun.
ASTROPORT is made up of two main spaces, creating a multi-sensory journey whose scenography takes into account the practical aspects so as not to break the immersion in the fictional world in homage to the magician filmmaker Georges Méliès and that of the NASA archives.
