About

Live at the Download, BST and Latitude festivals, the Sensorium was an exclusive festival hangout. I designed the two tunnel experiences that led people in and out of the hangout.

The 'In Tunnel' was a multi-sensory journey of disorientation through a winding path of pool noodles, trippy lighting and otherworldly sound. The 'Exit Tunnel', gave people the chance to select a track and create their own music video shareable. They were captured with six cameras along the way via a fully automatic system that gave them their polished video shareable as soon as they stumbled out into the daylight at the end.
