The Adventures of Alice – A Magical Wonderland Experience

This exhibition by Grande Exhibition was based on the tale Alison Wonderland. The aim was to revamp the story in a manner that everyone could enjoy and dedicate time to throw himself back in childhood memories but with a twist. The Sensory System was used to enhance the visual appearance and stimulate those feelings which were buried over the period of time. Apart from seeing the audience could interact with the lighting effects in the space and the symphonic sounds in the background with conveyed the feelings Alison was feeling during the narration of the story.

It is a very immersive example and not only the projections improved the visualizations but there are other elements which contributed to the message of the story. The space is surrounded with rotten haunted trees, massive boulders pieces on the ground and last but not least the glowing mushroom trees which clearly help the audience feeling part of the story. These elements put the subject into context not because they are there but they are in tune with the projections meaning that if Alison is lost in the black forest the projections move towards the trees or if she walls on the ground, the camera is tilted towards the boulders so there is a sense of integration.

A Magical Wonderland Experience with use of Sensory systems

The children are all fascinated by the Alison Wonderland story so this would be a perfect occasion for them to read again the story and approaching the topic with a new sense of imagery. Not only children would improve their communication skills but also it would leave a trail back in their minds so when they grow, they could still appreciate their childhood memories and treasure the tale. They would be able to narrate it to their children with passion and taking flash backs from the exhibition rather than from the images of books. It is essential to kids these days to learn how to interact with books and become familiar so I believe these exhibitions are more than educational. They could constitute to the child’s development and value its childhood experience as nowadays youngsters want to grow up and be adults. Clearly they have no idea what they will be getting into.
