MoFE is a Brooklyn venue for introspective immersive shows using 3D Spatialized Audio and Virtual Reality. Lauded by the New York Times as “phantasmagoric” and Time Out as a “technical masterpiece,” MoFE aims to show you something you’ve never seen before. Today’s VR experience is an excerpt from MoFE’s newest show Gnosis, a high tech contemplative odyssey into the timeless question Who Am I? This experience is a chance to immerse yourself in a work of world-class art, as well as an invitation to self-reflect and look inward.
MoFE is located at 148 Grand St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Shows are timed, ticketed events for intimate groups. For tickets visit www.mofe.co
“An experience that combines the immediacy of theater, the visual dialect of film and the technological rush of gaming. It all adds up to a strikingly immersive feat of world-building.”
