OPERA
Immersive Installation & Performance, 02:00:00Visit the Vibration Group spaceship, an immersive installation activated by members of the Vibration Group themselves.
Have a toast, peruse the closets, engage the research, water the plants, do some motion exercises and relax in the VR spa.
For the final hour, guests are asked to take a seat for "Group Therapy," a musical journey through the emotions of traveling through fractured worlds, missing their home on a fraught Earth.

EARTHNESS VR SPA
Interactive VR Installation, 00:05:00Earthness launched as Vibration Group’s guided “earthing” meditation experience for home-sick members of their spaceship to ground themselves with the best of nature’s memory.
Winding the plush crystal controller engages atmospheric elements in each surrounding.
It is said that the crystal also mines memories of those who use it, to supply the machine learning behind Earthness’ simulations.
