Mixed Reality Installation
Created By Makers Of Imaginary Worlds and commissioned by Nesta and National Gallery X (The National Gallery and King’s College London)
HOME: Zero is an art installation where visitors enter a fantastical world where time is limited. They make extraordinary things happen when they imagine a more sustainable future in this playful interactive installation where National Gallery paintings provide a magical starting point to think creatively about our own homes.
This unique project has been co-designed with Nottingham families to encourage us all to reimagine how we can make a sustainable difference starting at home. It is suitable for families with children aged 6-10 (max 6 per visit in 25-minute timeslots), admission is free but advance booking is recommended.

Visitors
I love the ambition of immersive theatre and digital experience. I have not a preconceived idea of what it was. My child didn't know what to expect so it was a bit difficult at the beginning but we liked it.
Connection from capturing the object to transformation took a little while but very effective at making link to historical solutions that we can think about.
