Pepper's Ghost and Sila Sveta create immersive light experience at Fabbrica del Vapore

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Pepper's Ghost and Sila Sveta have created 'Aura _ Immersive Light Experience', a monumental interactive installation at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan. The work transforms a dark room into a magical environment using generative 2D and 3D visuals projected onto a large floor. Motion tracking makes the visuals interactive, responding to visitors' movements and creating luminous auras around their bodies. The installation also features vertical light beams that form suspended architectures, dynamically following spectators. The piece explores the dialogue between digital and human spheres, materializing light as a symbolic energy. The creators aim to make new media accessible to all ages, offering an international-level production unprecedented in Italy. The experience is designed for semi-permanent entertainment, not just branded content.
