The Black Hole Experience (BHX) is a mobile immersive experience presented by Age of Union and conceived by Dax Dasilva and artist Kelly Nunes that draws inspiration from the physics and spiritual properties of black holes..
Set inside a moving, maneuverable vessel, BHX is a one-of-a-kind exhibition set to appear at select outdoor venues across North America beginning in summer 2024; and is currently booking integrations at festivals, fairgrounds, city centres, museums, and universities. Installed initially in Montreal, this work has been transformed into a carbon neutral “eco-portal,” featuring light, sound, and 3D mapped projection.
BHX offers an immersive reset uniting the awe and wonder of nature and the cosmos with meditative reflection. Through this mobile exhibition and multiple integrated projects around the globe, Age of Union hopes to ignite a flame within every person and inspire individuals to create high-impact change in the world.
While every person’s experience of BHX will differ, all participants will feel a sense of interconnectedness with humanity, the environment, and the cosmos. They will engage with their sense of curiosity, and they will leave feeling activated by a drive to explore that oneness more deeply.
