"The Virtual Cave: In the Dark" is a special project between English Riviera (UK) and Satun (Thailand) UNESCO Global Geoparks. FREE EVENT The Virtual Cave (hosted by Filament), Paignton, TQ4 5BW
Explore this virtual cave online, as part of TAAHM, a special project between English Riviera (UK) and Satun (Thailand) UNESCO Global Geoparks. Artists and environmentalists invite you to explore their evolving world, share your ideas, add images and objects to the virtual cave if you like.
TAAHM is a new collaborative project between Thai artist Arnont Nongyao and UK arts collective NooN. The artists are working in real and digital cave spaces to create new works exploring what it means to be in the dark, and facing uncertainty in a state of not knowing. Join the artists in the early stages of their process investigating our feelings about caves as places of hope and connection but also darkness and fear. Explore our deep genetic memory embedded in cave mythologies as places of transformation, and an encounter with a modern day cyclops in the form of technology. The Virtual Cave space uses gaming technology as a co-creative environment. You are invited to explore and co-create this unusual gallery space. What will you discover? What ideas or objects will you bring? Exploring new technologies, the virtual cave will be open throughout Geopark Festival week. To access the cave and contribute, you need to pre-register your interest by signing up here with your email address. Dates: Saturday 24th May, through to Thursday 29th May, all day. Pre-register and then explore at your leisure over the open dates. Before the cave opens you will receive some invitations to inspire you to get involved and contribute in different ways.
