We are exploring the immersive and spatial experiences of the future - and you can join in!

Wednesday, December 11, 2024

At Visual Arena, we are constantly curious about how art, technology and design can meet to create new, ground-breaking experiences. Right now we have started an exciting journey where we explore the latest trends in immersive and spatial experiences. By combining projections, light and advanced technology, we can create interactive environments that both engage and inspire in completely new ways.

We see how similar experiences are emerging around the world – from Atelier des Lumières in Paris to TeamLab in Tokyo and The Sphere in Las Vegas. We believe that this is the way of the future to explore and experience art and technology, where the space around you comes alive and you yourself become part of the work.

But we are only at the beginning. Now we want to invite more people to join and shape these experiences with us! Do you have ideas, experiences or do you want to be part of this exploration? Don't hesitate to get in touch. We are looking for both collaboration partners and creative souls who want to contribute to making this a reality - maybe even in Gothenburg.

Stay updated on our journey, and if you are as curious as we are – come and join us in creating the immersive and spatial experiences of the future!
