Immersive Space, Milan, Italy. Humans have created a whole new epoch for the denizens of the ocean: the Plastocene. Plastic has become a ubiquitous part of the world's oceans, permeating all layers from the surface down to the darkest depths.Exhibition: 9 - 27 February 2022, curated by Julie Walsh. The 15 projectors of the MEET Immersive Room turned Enter the Plastocene into a vast 20m x 10m cavern. Two AR tablets embeded visitors into a dazzling "underwater" experience.
