SENSEFACTORY is a spectacular large-scale performative installation combining architecture, sound, smell, light and AI technology into a immersive multi-sensorial experience.
Created by an international team of artists, architects, designers and technologists, SENSEFACTORY sends visitors on an exhilarating sensory journey through a colossal, ever transforming pneumatic architectural environment that changes form and shape before your very eyes. In the 1920s, László Moholy-Nagy with the Bauhaus imagined a new kind of a theater for the senses. In a “Mechanized Eccentric” as he called it, machine and organism should be merged. 100 years later this utopian vision now can be experienced – in an up-to-date version that uses latest technological developments. The Bauhaus sought a new relationship between humans and machines – a theater that would integrate the human spectator and actor into a new kind of rhythmic and dynamic media process. 100 years later, we are enveloped in these total environments of media that continually scan, surveil, record, monitor and transform us.
SENSEFACTORY reflects on our radical times – creating a compelling event that oscillates between intensive sensual experience and meditative reflection; physical euphoria and nervous unease.
