Mutator VR

The Horniman Museum and Gardens flung open its doors to welcome visitors for a night of creative and critical installations.

On the evening of 21 March 2019, 10 installations and activities located throughout the galleries and grounds and created by Goldsmiths’ staff and students immersed over 1000 ticket holders in a world of interaction, casting the museum in a new light.

In the Natural History Gallery, visitors were transported into a psychedelic world full of alien forms by Mutator VR, an immersive virtual reality experience developed by pioneering Goldsmiths computer artist Prof William Latham. Latham was inspired by the gallery’s themes of evolution and the VR experience was projected across the entire vaulted Victorian ceiling.
