Imaginaria brings an immersive wonderland of light and sound to the heart of Brisbane & Melbourne
Part game. Part gallery. Part journey.
Journey to the heart of in the heart of Brisbane and Melbourne’s cultural precinct and you’ll be welcomed into an immersive world where imagination and technology collide thanks to Imaginaria.
The walk-through installation – designed for kids and adults of any age – will feel like entering an entirely new dimension. The audiovisual play experience has been created to delight all the senses.
Founded by Melbourne-based creatives Nick and Lucy Ennis – AKA Loose Collective – and brought to life by fashion designers, architects, musicians, audiovisual artists, sculptors, stunt men, circus stars and more, this multi-sensory delight needs to be experienced to be believed.
Drawing inspiration from international trends in the virtual and augmented reality space, Creative Director Nick Ennis said: “Trends in society are often reflections of our deeper needs, desires or values. We wanted to create a play experience that elevated you out of the digital fog and snapped you into the now. A creative reminder to slow down, be still and connect.”
