The Mechanics of Wonder
In the Russian pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai, we created an impressive and large-scale immersive performance "The Mechanics of Wonder". In the center of the hall there is a large, moving kinetic model of the human brain with a video mapping projection on its surface.
1 OCT 2021 – 31 MARCH 2022
There are 9 pylons grouped into 3 triptychs along the perimeter of the hall which allows the spectator to watch the show choosing a comfortable position for him/herself and not making him/her sit in a pre-programmed place like in a usual theater.
An interactive ring of a LED screen at floor level around the central object with which visitors interact during the intermission was designed largely for the youngest visitors
The kinetic model of the brain was created, measuring, when open, 9.2 meters (30 feet) long, 5.5 meters (18 feet) wide and 10 meters (33 feet) high from the floor

9 pylons was LED screens that are able to produce the content quality of up to 10K
