IOTA Institute & Reimagining Atlantic Harbours for 2050 present Immersive Infinite, a tradeshow of work-in-progress immersive installations that explore water sovereignty. Artists, scientists, technicians and curators have come together to design immersive art prototypes to test in this public showcase. We treat “Immersive” as a place of convergence for broad audiences, curatorial concept, artistic creation, scientific inquiry, and new modes of data visualization. What ecological phenomena would you like to explore in immersive media?

Access Notes
Immersive Infinite takes place in a barrier-free former church space with a ramp from street level. This exhibition features two installations in separate rooms: one high-contrast bright black and white projection, and one motion-activated 360 degree sound piece. Each room is dark with ambient blue floor lighting. The walkway from the entrance to the installation is a gentle slope, with reflective tape guiding the way. There are pews available to watch the projection which are 15″ deep.
Three attendants with flashlights are able to offer assistance, ear plugs, or a QR code for a descriptive audio guide. There are no ASL interpreters, but the attendant at the entrance can communicate using printed materials.
All washrooms are non-gendered: one is wheelchair accessible, and two are not wheelchair accessible.
Masks are highly encouraged.
