ENTHEON IMMERSIVE
A Place to Discover the Creator Within
The name 'Entheon' means a place to discover the God within, which encapsulates the mission to inspire the viewer to explore deeper dimensions of their being and the interconnectedness of all life.
This video-installation, developed originally as a projection on the actual “Entheon” art-gallery building at COSM, has been re-shaped here into an immersive experience. It envisions future decorative projects on the gallery’s facade (a sculptural project by Allyson & Alex Grey along with Ryan Tottle), and brings to life several of the artworks present inside the gallery.

SACRED MIRRORS:
“Sacred Mirrors” video-installation is an illusionary portal that brings to life Alex Grey’s iconic painted serie. Working directly with the original artworks, the installation breathes motion into the 21 mirrors, inviting viewers to enter in the reflection of body, mind, and spirit’s anatomy.
The interplay of sound and digital motion echoes the flow of awareness itself, guiding viewers through an evolving landscape of form and transcendence, while lluminating the energetic patterns that unite all beings beyond race, class, and gender.

STEEPLE HEAD’S MEDITATION :
This audiovisual installation (originally produced for a statue’s projection mapping), it's a 7 minute seamless loop designed as a synesthetic flow - to recall different states of a meditative experience.
The work takes inspiration from Alex Grey’s “Steeple Head”, where the third-eyed being’s vision aims to reflect on the audience its spiritual awakening.
The visuals and sound immersion explore a blend of moods that flow from natural recorded elements, to amniotic regression and “form-constants” visualization.

STAR DANCERS
(Painting by Allyson Grey & Alex Grey + Deltaprcocess videomapping)
"Star Dancers" features vibrant, intertwined figures that convey a sense of movement and spirituality. The dancers are portrayed in dynamic poses, radiating energy and connectedness to the cosmos, symbolizing unity and transcendence.
Through the addition of projeciton mapping effects, the layers of color and intricate details invite viewers to explore the emotional depth of the piece. The interplay of light within the painting enhances the visual impact, creating a mesmerizing experience that captures the essence of dance as a form of spiritual expression.
