Meow Wolf is an art collective based in Santa Fe. They create interactive, immersive, diy art. The goal of their art is to transport people into fantasy realms/worlds. The collective puts a lot of emphasis on the process of creating and how you are creating instead of the final output. The House of Eternal Return is a project they built in a old bowling alley. The house looks like a normal Victorian era home; however, there are multiverse portals throughout the house that take you to other dimensions, rooms, and worlds. There are interactive features that are physical, but also digital. For example, there are some worlds with touch sensors that create a sound and light experience. The house was their first permanent exhibition and opened in 2016. I admire this project and their other projects in how they use a variety of mediums to generate the interaction in their art. They use traditional building techniques as well as computers and programming to make their projects come to life. Through the lecture, they talk about the process of creating their work and what Meow Wolf strives for in that process They also explain the reception and impact of that work.
