The project in a nutshell

Designed by Collectif Escargo, which combines global design, landscape architecture and public art to create poetic and attractive spaces, the Holographic Garden is a unique virtual and digital experience that will engage and connect visitors to the here and now.

This relaxing oasis takes the form of an urban garden boasting holographic effects and overhead plants. The installation is complemented by lighting and an ambiance that add to an overall sense of calm in the heart of the business district. Lights amplify the reflective and shimmering effects, while whispers and familiar noises form a lullaby in the background.

The Holographic Garden is a playground for the senses. It’s like a cabinet of curiosities that chases away solitude, boredom and banality. It’s a parade of the living. It’s a collection of rare, unexpected and unusual things.
