Colleen Flanigan is showing a remarkable work in current exhibition Deep Water about her under-water sculpture project, Zoe, which is developing a whole innovative programme of ecosystem regeneration. Using bio-rock mineral accretion technology, she is creating a coral reef as a Living Sea Sculpture.
In the exhibition you see the work as a film projected on the wall. However, it is a whole lot more powerful to experience it in 3D Virtual Reality. You will feel you are in the sea with her, underwater swimming around the sculpture. You will really be deepening your virtual underwater experience.
