In Memory | Of Being: Mixed Reality in the Dome

Join a mixed reality journey back through time within State Library Victoria's iconic Dome.

Blending real-world architecture with technology and archives, In Memory | Of Being immerses you in the Library’s collection and forgotten history, merging past, present and future in a deeply sensory experience.

Created by Yoyo Munk (the artist-scientist behind mixed reality experience Medusa, at the V&A Museum in London, and part of the creative team behind Asia TOPA’s massive hit, Kagami), this responsive, site-specific digital artwork returns following a sell-out debut as part of Open House Melbourne.

You will wear mixed-reality headsets to explore the spaces within the Dome, encountering audio and archival images of people whose names have vanished from the historical record.

The immersive and interactive installation uses 3D spatialisation to reimagine the Library’s collection in a whole new dimension, bringing these forgotten voices and faces to life.
