Circa69 - The Cube
Created by artist Simon Wilkinson, AKA CiRCA69, The Cube combines virtual reality, live performance and kinaesthetic effects to tell the story of a mass disappearance that happened in Idaho in 1959. You awake to find yourself sitting at a table across from a stranger; you have no idea how long you have been asleep or where the rest of the group has disappeared to as you consider the question ‘How do you build a reality that doesn’t collapse within three days’. This is an experience for one person at a time, tickets are available in individual 15 minute time slots.
“The light drummed against his brain, bathing the submerged levels below his consciousness, carrying him downwards into warm pellucid depths, where the nominal realities of time and space ceased to exist.”
- J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World
