Bridge_48, the electronic music training and production centre in Poblenou, has teamed up with the Romanian artist Ovidiu-Valeriu Bojor to create an immersive experience that draws you into a virtual kingdom that exists alongside the physical world: a journey to a second dimension within a digital 3D painting that will entice visitors into the darkness, a window onto other realities that will be bound together by music; this is the distinctive feature here. The project aims to stimulate the public’s extrasensory perception in order to reach a meditative state far removed from the real environment. The public have an compelling relationship with a live painting - somewhere between a mandala and a kaleidoscope - that is deconstructed before their eyes allowing them to enter a deep, hidden dimension of a design that they’re used to seeing in two dimensions. This is a journey akin to the aesthetics and philosophy of psychedelia, now with the resources provided by digital technologies.

Ovidiu-Valeriu Bojor is an artist and designer with an interdisciplinary focus that unites past, present and future, tradition and digital modernity. After graduating from the University of Art and Design in Cluj (Romania) in 2018, he started appearing on the international art scene with a series of exhibitions in galleries and institutions in Europe, Asia and the USA. He has worked with various artists and on music, fashion, digital and visual arts projects, bringing his vision to the contemporary art scene. His interest in technology and innovation led him to found Primal Lab, a project that combines art and blockchain technology. One of his main interests is the connection between the spiritual and the physical: how art can offer the public a profound experience of self. Through his work, he visualises abstract thought, making the public look deep inside themselves and asking them questions about what they see, emphasising and making people feel the ambiguity of reality.
