The Antarctic, by Obscura Digital. The installation was a planetary dome, which from the outside was nothing very exceptional. However, whoever entered it was surprised by the interior equipped with the latest immersion technology.

The Antarctic, by Obscura Digital. It was a 360º experience powered by by HP news. Visitors sat in tilting chairs made to provide a full view of the ceiling and then watched a 10-minute film, with various psychedelic and slightly nauseating images. You can see some of the experience in the video below in the gallery of this article.

Chiaozza Garden by Chiaozza. The studio has designed a garden installation comprised of a series of whimsical, desert-inspired plant structures. Like some kind of Martian golf course, the masses are encased in squiggles and dots.

Crown Ether by Olalekan Jeyifous. The Nigerian artist has created an uninhabitable house based on a series of angular tree trunk pillars. The work is inspired by the artist’s long-standing interest in the intersection of public architecture and displacement, here symbolized by the tension resulting from the visual accessibility of a structure that cannot actually be occupied.

Lamp beside the golden door, by Gustavo Prado. The installation consisted of a "mirrored lighthouse for immigrants”. The Brazilian intended to create a point that would guide the festival audience, which reflected sunlight in an infinite number of directions.

Lamp beside the golden door, by Gustavo Prado. In a statement, Prado explained the framework as "a way to present empirically how the mind transforms the continuous interconnection of phenomena into separate beings."

Is That What Brings Things into Focus?, by Joanne Tatham and Tom O'Sullivan. British artists have created a huge installation that acts as a visual pun for the phrase "elephant in the room", made up of large masses of elephants. The 75m tall herd stands in a circle, with variations between works in a different, colorful geometric pattern.
