MOTN Funhouse x ANIMA
Top off your unforgettable experience at the festival with a mindboggling journey into the inspiring MOTN Funhouse x ANIMA space for an additional AED 85.
Get ready for an immersive light experience that makes its UAE debut in the Inspire Space at the festival. Bringing limitless magic to Abu Dhabi, ANIMA is an interactive space where every action has an awe-inspiring consequence in real-time. Known for his transformative installations, Anderson Tegon, a visionary artist and founder of Milan-based studio Pepper’s Ghost, created this masterpiece to give festivalgoers a larger-than-life experience. Designed to interact with visitors through a giant glowing sphere suspended from the ceiling, the installation explores the relationships between itself and its surroundings by using motion tracking technology to recognise the presence of viewers and make them part of the artwork. The installation is a signature style of Tegon, whose most recent digital artwork Aura, was recognised as one of the top five immersive exhibitions in Europe.
