CURRENTS features groundbreaking national and international artists working to transform evolving technologies into poignant, entertaining, beautiful and provocative expression through interactive installations, multimedia performances, animation, robotics, Virtual Reality environments, web based/app projects, experimental documentary screenings, architectural mapping, and 3D printing. It’s an experience that delights locals and visitors year after year.
Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return is an explorable attraction filled with art, technology, and fantastic environments to inspire visitors of all ages. The wildly imaginative space is a collaboration of over 100 local artists and is a unique combination of children’s museum, art gallery, jungle gym, and fantasy novel.
“It’s a house, but also a fort; it has bridges that lead from geodesic-dome rooms covered in eyeballs to normal-looking children’s bedrooms. It’s a museum for exploring and an adult-sized play place. But for the adventurous, Meow Wolf also has a mystery woven into its world; the staff will gladly fill you in on the tale of the fictional Selig family, whose members seem to have suddenly disappeared from the space. It’s up to you to solve the mystery using the hundreds of clues hidden throughout.”
