Immersive artworks are all about giving the audience the ability to be within the work, rather than an observer. From theatre to visual arts to Instagram candy, immersive works may be reactions to the way screen culture distances audiences. By contrast immersive work invite audiences to be participants, to shape their own experience of an artwork by walking through it, interacting with its actors and maybe even picking up props.
‘We try to make art but we still don’t know if it’s art or not. Maybe history will decide,’ Kudo joked. ‘We call them body immersives with the aim to bring people into the work.’
