The present is composed of the reverberations of the past. This virtual reality exhibition invites viewers to connect with today’s world through reflections, parallels, and distant echoes. Listen to the sound of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that originated billions of years ago; take a trip to China’s London, Paris, and Venice, replicas of their European counterparts; or join a girl and her father in a story about the gifts we pass on to the next generation. The programming reflects the best in current virtual reality works and places a deliberate emphasis on sound and stories that resonate within all of us.
