In the first exhibition in Namur entirely dedicated to the history of spatial and virtual art and storytelling, Le Pavillon dives into how virtual and augmented reality technologies have revolutionized artistic, and creative exploration of the 21^st century.

The exhibition begins by examining how art and storytelling – film, theatre, and visual arts – evolved across the 20^th century under the influence of technology and, in return, changed our ways of looking at reality. The second part of the exhibition, unfolding in two chapters, features groundbreaking spatial, virtual, and augmented reality works created in the past ten years by some of the most renowned creators in the field.

In the age of the omnipresence of connected devices and artificial intelligence, artists are using technology to take a subjective look at the world and dream of realities that are beyond our reach, or speculating about the ones beyond our imagination. Could these experiences deepen our awareness of the complexity of the world around us by revealing it in a whole new way?
