We Live in an Ocean of Air is a virtual reality experience where the invisible connection between plant and human is revealed through breath. In a 20–minute experience, cutting-edge technology illuminates the invisible, but fundamental, connections between human and natural worlds. Visitors to the experience at the Saatchi Gallery in London are transported to an ancient forest to witness the majestic power of the largest organism to ever exist — the giant Sequoia tree.
They are invited to step through the canvas to explore a magical world where the invisible exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is beautifully brought to life. Untethered virtual reality, breath and heart sensors will track your real-time breathing and encourage you to reflect on our dependence and responsibility to the organisms we share our planet with.
We Live in an Ocean of Air was created by Marshmallow Laser Feast in collaboration with NatanSinigaglia and Mileece I’Anson and runs until January 20.
