Immersive Art Experience: INTER_
New York, ready to trade the concrete jungle for an intergalactic playground? Meet INTER_, an immersive experience that takes you beyond the traditional museum walls and straight into an otherworldly adventure. Here, you’re not just an observer – you’re a voyager, and INTER_ is your spaceship to uncharted realms.
INTER_ welcomes you as a spaceship welcomes its voyagers, inviting you on a ten-room journey through the ten corners of the cosmos. The experience kicks off with a short video briefing in the first room, where you’re assured that touching, feeling, and interacting with the art is not just allowed, but it’s encouraged.
The hosts hand you special glasses — think solar eclipse eyewear, but trippier. These filters distort light, transforming the space into a mesmerizing intergalactic dream. From the moment you put them on, Earth feels like a distant memory.
Your first stop is the Dome, where the real magic begins. Thanks to projection mapping and motion detectors, you can interact with art that spans the walls and floors. Lift your arm to create fiery explosions, send waves of water rippling across the room, or simply watch the surreal landscapes unfold. While you play, a soothing voice narrates your journey through distant planets, each with its own unique science and story.
This season’s theme, Winterverse, transforms the installation into a celebration of winter magic. You’ll journey through galaxies plunged into unlivable temperatures, where snow-covered forests, interactive portals, and mesmerizing digital snowfall bring the charm of winter to life. It’s a wonderland packed with surprises and photo ops at every turn.
After the Dome, you’re free to explore the rest of the Winterverse at your own pace. Wander through glowing gardens of otherworldly plants. Catch digital snowflakes with a wave of your hand. Every room is full of hidden interactive features — touch the walls, peek into corners, and see what cosmic secrets you can uncover.
“We hope to make winter warm again,” the creators of INTER_ say — and they’ve delivered. Inside, it’s cozy and toasty, providing the perfect escape from the city’s chilly streets.
Before returning to Earth, you’re invited to take a moment to relax in a serene meditation space filled with comfy cushions. Guided meditations, accompanied by the soothing sounds of three large gongs, help you reflect on your intergalactic journey.
On your way out, you can immortalize your adventure in the photo booth and grab a treat at the galactic coffee shop, where the hot chocolate, topped with marshmallows and salt flakes, is an out-of-this-world delight.
Want to take the experience home? Opt for the add-on bracelet-making station, where you can create a keepsake with cosmic-inspired beads. It’s a fun, hands-on way to remember your journey.
The best part? There’s no rush. INTER_ encourages you to take your time, interact with the art, and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Whether you’re seeking an escape, a photo-worthy adventure, or just something exciting to do this winter, INTER_’s Winterverse has it all.
So, why not trade the concrete jungle for a cosmic one? Your intergalactic adventure awaits.
Beyond the Winterverse, INTER_ has recently introduced The Cineverse, a movie night experience in the immersive 360° dome. And for night owls, their After Hours series transforms nightlife into an otherworldly dimension within this tech-enabled art space.
