Jose Montemayor speaking at Digital Decade 5

For Digital Decade 5 we teamed up with leading London VR Entertainment Studio "Virtually Mine" to create the immersive atmosphere of the whole show's "Cyberia" concept. It was a total success when Jose Montemayor, invited by Virtually Mine, brought his installation "Virtual Awakening" to the Tanner Street 47 venue.

Virtual Awakening
Death is only the beginning

By realizing the potential and urgency that art has to evoke awareness, we have taken the next step to merge virtual reality with thought provoking art to create immersive experiences combined with profound realizations about the viewers perception of reality.

"Our first completed project "death is only the beginning" is based on a conceptual representation of a near death experience (NDE)."
