A new virtual reality (VR) installation that allows participants to journey through a forest and interact with its ecosystem is showing at Singapore’s ArtScience Museum from now till Oct 2.

Titled We Live In An Ocean of Air, the installation is an immersive multi-sensory experience that engages all five senses in order to illustrate the symbiotic relationship between humans, animals and plants. It augments virtual reality with surround sound, scent and special effects to create the effect of being in a real forest.

To complement We Live in an Ocean of Air, a curated lineup of eight ecology-themed films called We Tread in a Garden of Spells has also launched at ArtScience Cinema. Titles include The Metamorphosis of Birds, 24 Frames and The Rider.

Tickets to We Live In An Ocean of Air are priced at $16 for adult Singapore residents and can be purchased at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and online.
