Otherworld Opens Second Exhibition in Philadelphia

(eap) Building on the success of the first Otherworld in Columbus, Ohio, the second location opens today in Philadelphia after a soft-opening phase. In the experience exhibition, visitors can explore over 55 rooms/art installations on some 40,000 square feet (3,716 square meters). Each room is uniquely designed and tells a story – iridescent creatures, unique artwork, interactive and digital elements are the work of more than a hundred artists, modelers, animators and technologists. The exhibition, which addresses art and technology enthusiasts as well as curious explorers of all ages, was created in collaboration with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group. The company of Optoma was responsible for the projection technologies in place.

We can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

“I can’t wait for the doors to open and our customers to experience Otherworld. The countless hours and dedication that the artists and entire team has spent bringing Otherworld Philadelphia to life has been inspiring. It’s an attraction unlike any other in the city, or for that matter in the northeast. I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to see it,” adds Christopher Stafford, CEO and founding partner of Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group. ■
