3 new immersive experiences to enjoy in Montréal this summer

Venture into a Black Mirror^TM episode

Put on a virtual reality headset and step into your own episode of the popular TV series. The Black Mirror^TM Experience catapults you into a compelling interactive narrative that explores the theme of technology. Visit Phaethon Labs, where you will interact with an advanced artificial intelligence that is sometimes promising and sometimes dark and unsettling. 

Good news: unlike the characters in the series, your 60-minute adventure will not end in disaster! Make memories, be entertained and reflect on technology in a time when fiction is quickly becoming reality.

Explore the oceans in Living Waters 

To take a breather between virtual reality activities, treat yourself to Living Waters. Held at the Panorama Expérience space at the Grand Quay in the Port of Montréal, this immersive exhibition offers four themed installations that explore the connections between humans and marine ecosystems. Visual projections and atmospheric surround sound create a contemplative visit in which art, science and nature converge. 

Around 30 minutes is enough to marvel at nature while reflecting on the impact our actions have on these natural environments, which are as fragile as they are fascinating. 

📍 Grand Quay at the Port of Montréal | 200 De la Commune Street West

To facilitate your visit, the three centres hosting these immersive experiences are located near a metro station and parking, in addition to being accessible to people with reduced mobility.
