Nocturnal Fugue

This multi-sensorial installation emulates the communicative complexity of bats. Morph into a bat and echolocate through space or sit and feel the vibrations of bat vocalisation.

The exhibition's cave-like environment is inspired by bat habitats. Often feared, bats are actually complex creatures who engage in multifaceted communication. By immersing ourselves in bats' vocalisations through an innovative mixed-reality headset, augmented reality app, and video tuned to haptic vibrations, we can activate new modes of relation.
