BAM Digital Exhibit Returns With ‘Virtual Reality Storytelling’
An interactive digital arts showcase at the Brooklyn Academy of Music will return this weekend with new additions that will let families step into the latest innovations in technology — literally.
The new two-hour timed-entry sessions will take place on the upper levels of the BAM Fisher building, located at 321 Ashland Place. Participants who sign up for the virtual reality options will also have access to the lower-level installations, such as a program that uses tracking and animated graphics to create a "living mask" based on the user's facial movements or an audiovisual concert created by shadow play.
The virtual reality contemporary dance exhibit, called The Hillman Studio, lets users inhabit full-body avatars that interact and communicate physically with each other in various performance landscapes.
Tickets for the regular exhibit are $16 for children ages 6 through 14 and $21 for adults. The TeknopolisTM + VR $35 for youth ages 9 through 14 and $45 for adults.
