About VR Fairground

The fairground is traditionally a site of social, cultural & technological experimentation. Riders instinctively responded to sensations of speed, accentuated by patterns of light, colour, and sound. Classic rides have dwindling heritage appeal. But with VR technology, Studio Go Go sees them as an opportunity for artistic experimentation, which aims to amplify & distort our perceptions of movement.

Imagine the old-fashioned Twister fairground ride. You’re spun clockwise in a flat circle, which itself spins anticlockwise in a larger circle. Your body draws spirographic shapes in the air – squeezed by an invisible force as you reach the outer limits. For a moment you hover stationary, before being hurdled to the opposite side.

But what if the ride broke free from this grey world? Your beating movements power the ride, which surges upwards; faster, faster; high into the air; towards a candy-coloured sky world, where your adventure awaits. Ride with our VR headset and that’s exactly what you’ll experience.
