Marshmallow Laser Feast: Works of Nature, ACMI, 2024. Photos, Eugene Hyland.
A survey exhibition featuring major digital artworks on a grand and awe-inspiring scale, by London-based collective Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF). Winner of the Immersive Experience – Culture category at the 2024 Blooloop Innovation Awards.
Through guided meditation, large-scale projection works and interactive experiences, visitors evolve from droplets of water to plants, cells and stars, becoming part of the cycle of life and the cosmos. Marshmallow Laser Feast: Works of Nature illuminates the hidden forces surrounding us, revealing the sublime through sensory journeys beyond our everyday perception. From the roots of a majestic Amazonian tree to the unseen branches of the body and the birth of galaxies, this hypnotic, immersive experience explores the rhythm that cultivates and connects all life – breath.
Using creative technology to deepen our understanding of, and connection to the world around us, Marshmallow Laser Feast reminds us that we are just one species in a shared ecosystem and asks, what can we learn from nature to prepare for the future?
