Frequently Asked Questions:

What is an “Immersive Experience?”

• An immersive experience is an illusory environment that completely surrounds you such that you feel that you are inside it and part of it. The term is associated with technology environments that command the senses such as virtual reality and mixed reality.

What is “Natura Obscura” about?

• “Natura Obscura” is self-guided exploration through a surrealist, dreamlike forest that combines art, sculpture, and the latest in virtual, augmented, and digital technologies. While “Natura Obscura” is a walk through an artist’s surreal dream, it is also an exploration of our own psychology and the symbolism and mythologies that people have brought with them through the ages. “Natura Obscura” means “hidden nature,” a reference to how our own nature is so often hidden from us.

How “interactive” is the experience? Can I touch things?
• Most of the items in Natura Obscura are designed to be touched and interacted with. We encourage light touch throughout the experience.
o Children should be supervised by an adult as some items are slightly fragile.

o Please do not touch any of the technology hardware (i.e. projectors etc).

How long does it take to go through the installation?

• Individual experiences will vary, but with 6 different galleries to explore we recommend you allow yourself at least one hour to truly enjoy the full experience.
