*****2025/…, Carles Castaño

*****202025/... is an interactive immersive installation/experience in mixed reality by the artist Carles Castaño that proposes to occupy the entire physical space of HYPER HOUSE, transforming and readapting it with the virtual environment.

* IMPORTANT: visit only with free ticket at this link (not recommended for children under 16 years old).

The artwork proposes a complex and extensive narrative, just like the reality -physical and virtual- of the consumer society we inhabit. It addresses a myriad of current real issues and possibilities through metaphor, directly or indirectly, in the form of a 3D virtual universe: fictitious reality, extreme consumerism, consumers and not people, strict rules focused on a broad but disadvantaged sector of society, unbridled inequality, frustrating inequality, prevailing individualism, death of the collective, the fall of basic rights, impossible housing, housing as a method of investment profitability, housing in a desperate format, imposed speed, no rights, ultraCapitalism, exploitation, ultra-rich ultra-poor, destruction, destruction of everything around us, destruction of the living, destruction of the real, destruction of what was already here.

‘We are witnessing the apocalypse, everything is being destroyed, the walls of the premises are cracking and pulverising, the plants are burning and turning into viscous black chapapote, the buildings are turning into fireballs.... We travel inside a chaotic universe in VR format. Users are invited to leave’.
