Don’t miss out on this limited opportunity to explore virtual reality art, free at M+ for one weekend only!

In Prometheus the Fire-Bringer (2023), artist Meiro Koizumi invites audiences to experience another mindset or perspective through a poetic virtual reality experience designed for four users at a time. A child narrates the Greek myth of Prometheus, who faced eternal punishment for stealing fire from the gods to give to humanity. As humanity undergoes a transformative biotechnological procedure, the VR users’ physical boundaries appear to dissolve, leading to a profound sense of interconnectedness with other people, technology, and nature. Koizumi’s immersive artwork invites us to reconsider our relationship with technology (Prometheus’s fire) and its potential to foster empathy and connection in a rapidly evolving world.

Each VR session is thirty minutes.
