| Opportunity

We were asked to create a digital Cornell Box.

| Outcome

We transformed the box into a portal of curiosity, enabling users to teleport and immerse themselves in diverse narratives with each door opening.

Echos of Infinity presents an immersive interactive video door installation that elevates the ordinary act of opening a door into an extraordinary voyage through the realms of space and dimensionality. Each interaction serves as a portal to diverse dimensions and spatial possibilities, transporting viewers to a captivating fusion of visuals that transcend conventional boundaries and spark the imagination. Acting as a curiosity catalyst, the installation beckons users to venture from the familiar into the unknown, inviting them to teleport and immerse themselves alongside main characters in various worlds and narratives with each door opening akin to turning a page in a storybook.

This innovative installation features dual perspectives, with both the front and back doors offering distinct yet interconnected scenes. Through this dual presentation, viewers are encouraged to contemplate the dialogue between these realms, enhancing their engagement and encouraging deeper exploration of the installation's multifaceted narrative landscape. 

Echos of Infinity invites its audience to embrace the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling, transforming the act of door opening into a gateway to boundless creativity and discovery.
