Digital Dreams

HYPER HOUSE --> 13–31 May, 2023



HYPER HOUSE, an independent space specialising in artistic practices that address transfers between the physical and the digital, will host the group exhibition 'Digital Dreams' presenting a selection of virtual reality works developed by students of the Bachelor Media & Interaction Design at ECAL University of Art and Design Lausanne. This project is supported by the Swiss Embassy.

Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative and rapidly growing field that combines traditional art forms with cutting-edge technology. It creates immersive and interactive experiences that transport viewers to new worlds and engage them in new ways. As VR technology advances, we can see increasingly exciting and innovative art installations and experiences. This exhibition presents a series of immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds. Visitors will encounter breathtaking landscapes, fantastic creatures and mind-blowing visual effects that will transport them to other worlds.
