Sustainability in an Imaginary World

Technical Integration | UBC Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability | February 2016/2017

An interactive, immersive experience designed to give guests insight into their own views on the future of building a sustainable planet.

“The project centered on an interactive art installation that comprised a live actor, an immersive soundscape featuring a handful of different characters, an interactive touch-table, and four interactive rooms within which participants wandered, partially guided by a narrative through-line, yet at the same time left to make sense of any larger meanings on their own” - Bendor, R., D. Maggs, R. Peake, J. Robinson, and S. Williams. 2017. The imaginary worlds of sustainability: observations from an interactive art installation. Ecology and Society 22(2):17. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09240-220217
