Culturespaces immersive installations

7 immersive digital art centers around the world

The context

Culturespaces operates the world's largest network of immersive digital art centers. Monumental venues transformed into 360° visual experiences, where the works of the greatest artists come to life across thousands of square meters of projection.

Each site has its own constraints: unique architecture, complex surfaces, dizzying heights. And every new show must adapt perfectly to these spaces.

My client on all these projects: Cadmos, a leading AV integrator.
