Five headsets equipped with olfactory devices. Five connected machines. Five people penetrate into a virtual space and create a forest together through the sheer power of their gaze. Five connected human beings. A collective sensory experience beyond words.

Éden is an interactive and collective sensory experience of nature. Equipped with a VR headset, visitors physically generate rhizomes which, following their gaze, emerge to become plants, trees and flowers. Starting from the premise that art and new technologies can act as a go-between for a new relationship with nature, the designers seek to develop an emotional and cognitive awareness of our need for nature, and of our lack of feeling in its absence.

This experience is available for 5 users simultaneously This experience is available for 5 users simultaneously and is presented with a video exhibition by the artist Hugo Arcier.
