AIR<\/strong>
Air<\/em><\/strong> is a walk-through art experience and story of both literal and figurative reflection.

\u201cIn addition to its remarkable materiality, Air<\/em><\/strong> is a living, breathing entity, expressed through its multisensory use of sound, lighting and production design. It\u2019s a story that evolves with each successive space, bringing visitors deeper and deeper into the experience until finally, they become part of it. Though Air<\/em><\/strong> is deeply personal, the experience reveals a shared consciousness, inviting visitors of any age to revel in collective wonder,\u201d says Kenzo Digital, Artist and CEO, Kenzo Digital Immersive. <\/strong>\u201cThrough its boundless juxtapositions of form, Air<\/em><\/strong> compels you to live in the present moment: calm, aware and free.\u201d<\/p>\n
