After mesmerizing crowds with its first mixed reality experience, The Unreal Garden, Onedome today announced the opening date of its next immersive experience, LMNL, on Saturday, December 22. Taking its name from the phonetic spelling of LIMINAL, which is defined as the otherworldly experiences that exist between states or worlds or “the spaces between,” LMNL is designed to inspire, amaze and transform. Tickets will go on sale today to experience LMNL’s individually designed interactive installations in a 60+ minute, open flow experience for audiences of all ages.

“With The Unreal Garden, we were literally changing the art gallery experience for the 21st century and with LMNL, we are looking to change the way people explore museum installations by making them a part of the experience,” said Onedome Chief Marketing Officer Leila Amirsadeghi. “We are hoping to inspire child-like moments, group conversations and social media shared experiences through the immersive and engaging environment.”

As soon as guests descend the staircase into the transformative underworld of allure that is LMNL, it is clear this is no ordinary museum experience. With 14 interactive installations spread out over 10,000-square-feet, LMNL was created in collaboration with 11 leading new media and visual artists from around the world, as well as Onedome’s own artist collective.

“You’ll find the artwork reacts to you and allows you to interact with it — almost as if by magic,” said LNML Curator & Creative Producer, Becca Dakini. “Once inside LMNL, each visitor is on a journey of curiosity, contemplation and collaboration that pushes the evolution of technology, art and human connection.”

Sure to capture the imagination of the attendees is the “Kinetic Infinity Room,” a visually stunning LED mirrored room that appears to go on forever, while responding to movement with light and sound. The “Fluid Structures” installation allows participants to walk around walls made of digital water, appearing inside of the installation as a water version of themselves — even allowing for digital water fights with other people in the room. The “Funky Forest” is a digital forest ecosystem featuring a digital waterfall that’s path can be moved around the room with logs. Depending on where the water flows, the forest will conjure creatures from the forest and grow trees and flowers. “Prana” is a 12-foot LED sphere connecting humans to technology with one simple breath. With the viewer in the center, the sphere lights up with each inhalation, uniting the piece and the participant(s).

To kick off the opening of LMNL, Onedome will be hosting a public Grand Opening party on Friday, December 21. Tickets are on sale at https://onedome.global/lmnlopeningparty/ for $33 (21+ only) and the party will feature leading DJs & musicians including one of the pioneers of electronic music, Adam Freeland, with support by rising stars KMLN, Brian Hartman and Migaloo.

The on-site Tilt Brush lounge and Elixart Cafe are open to the public to spend time in this extraordinary space, try some herbal-infused snacks and mocktails, and create original virtual artwork.

Located at 1025 Market St., LMNL tickets can be purchased online at http://www.onedome.global. Tickets will range in price from $11 for children aged 3–11 to $33 for adults, based on chosen date and time. Anyone with a valid student ID will receive special pricing of $25 and teens aged 12–18 can gain entry for $22. Combo tickets for entrance into LMNL and The Unreal Garden will be available for $55.
