The ‘Alt-Verse’ project by FINE 247 students will be displayed at THEMUSEUM<https://themuseum.ca/>'s new immersive gallery, EYEPOOL.
The interactive art installations by students Amna Sahi, Alex Chau, Brenda Duany Ruenes, Emilia Castillo, Judas Wolfe, Matilda Pawlega, Sarah Guenther, Sarah Soohyun Cheon, Shirley Huang, Simone Behl, and Zo Wakerfield can be seen from February 12-23 with a reception on February 19, 5-7 p.m.
A unique collaboration with THEMUSEUM sees Fine Arts students installing their final project in the museum’s first permanent immersive gallery experience called EYEPOOL, which opened in spring 2023 to host digital, projection-based content on various themes. State-of-the-art projectors by Kitchener-based Christie Digital create an immersive experience that flows over the walls and floor of the 800-square-foot gallery and combines visuals, sound and technology. THEMUSEUM works with local artists and post-secondary programs locally and across Ontario to feature work in their spaces.

FINE students in the Fall 2024 cohort are exploring the theme ‘Alt-Verse’ by investigating alternate worlds, realities, and digital ecosystems that illuminate the possibilities and limitations of perception, technology, and identity. They conceptualize, design, and program speculative environments that exist alongside—or in contrast to—our known worlds. The interactive art installations use EYEPOOL's technological infrastructure to enhance immersion, playing with physical space as a gateway to alternative dimensions.
