A Virtual Reality Exhibition


This virtual reality (VR) exhibition will include 10 immersive, interactive and thought-provoking documentary experiences created by Israeli and international creators who deal with the themes of ecology, environment and human-nature relations.
The experiences were created out of a strong desire to tell the story of the earth these days and to rekindle in us a connection to nature – which has been pushed to the margins of our technological, digital and hyper-urban existence.
