The WNDR museum in San Diego promotes a 360º experience

With a simple and clear message of 'we are all artists', the new museum WNDR from San Diego (EU) encourages your visitors not to be passive, but what they do during their interactive and multisensory experience also becomes art.

The collective WNDR, that brings together artists, thinkers, poets and designers working at the intersection of art and technology, Just a few months ago, it opened its new facility in the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego., which adds to the fact that this company interactive museums founded in Chicago has in this city and in Seattle, whose network the Boston one will soon join.

WDNR San Diego is an interactive museum of art and technology that it offers andmultisensory experiences in each of its twenty exhibitions. With the proposal to go from being a spectator to an artist, This visual and tactile installation has as its motto that any interaction that a visitor makes in your museum will be art; since they will not only be able to touch but even transform.

The museum, of 4.000 m2, is located on the first two floors of a historic building on Market Street in San Diego and configured in three sections with experimental installations and digital content.

Visitors walk through a luminous floor that reacts to movement using sensors to create light figures on the ground, in addition to touring a structure in the shape of a walkable house that is filled with lightning, thunder and other effects.

Visitors will also pass through a room with more than 150 quantum mirrors full of projections to analyze the perception of oneself through technology and the power of screens; for a 'metaverse' of virtual reality In it they can play while they go through different 'infinite' rooms, to end in a digital art space according to the instructions that the visitor sends to a artificial intelligence program.

As the president of the WNDR museum explained, Ryan Kunkel, This immersive proposal is suitable for all ages, Although its target market is adults between 18 y 35 years looking for something different from the traditional museum experience.

One of the most innovative exhibitions is the one called God:Tempo by Effixx, which is done in the t360° theater from the museum; an experience to transform the space into a large-scale audiovisual clock, surrounded by three-dimensional figures projected on the walls.

The San Diego museum also has a living room open to everyone without admission; low-income school groups can attend at no cost, to which is added classroom space where local school districts can bring groups for the Steam curriculum (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics).
