8 September 22 – 6 January 23
Twist and slide the 3D shapes and watch their virtual counterparts do astonishing things!
Explore the subtle, contemplative interactions between a physical and virtual world in ARPS Immersive – a mixed media play space. ARPS invites visitors to move the 3D printed shapes on the play platform and watch the corresponding virtual objects do astonishing things on the walls!
Produced with mentoring from Collusion, Norwich University of the Arts and funded with the award of an Arts Council England Project Grant.
ARPS was further developed during Will’s LEVEL Residency in early 2022, where he tested ideas with two community groups before reworking ARPS as a public installation for LEVEL’s main Immersive Space.
ARPS Immersive now presents its virtual world wrapped around the room across four projection screens.
Enjoy!
