'Illusions'
Question your reality !

What is an illusion? How and why do our senses deceive us? Are you ready to experience an alternative reality?

 

Awaken your senses and your perceptions at this fun and educational exhibition consisting of a three-dimensional journey focusing on 3 senses: sight, hearing and touch. An illusion is a false perception of the world around us, it is a phenomenon triggered by our senses and interpreted by our brain.
From our physical surroundings to the digital world, the exhibition confuses our perceptions with augmented reality, auditory illusions, an Ames room…

 

Exhibition designed and produced by the Exploradôme (Vitry-sur-Seine). 30 interactive experimental modules.

A three-dimensional journey

Physical experiments

The focus is on signal transduction. There is no sight without light, no hearing without sound waves, no touch without pressure. You will explore all these aspects in the ‘Melt and Merge’, ‘Head on a Platter’ or ‘Island of Light’ modules.

 

Sense organs experiments

Here the sensory organs are in the spotlight with our ‘Infernal Hoop’, ‘Stop Motion’ or ‘Virtual Hairdresser’ features. The eyes, ears (internal and external), joint and muscle pressure receptors are all essential sensory organs in the nervous system.

 

Cognitive experiments

The ‘Virtual Reality’, ‘Ames Room’, ‘T-rex’ modules explore how the brain interprets and associates what we are seeing.

WORKSHOPS: FAMILY WORKSHOPS

Mini-illusions/7-12 years of age/new

In our assembly, colouring and painting workshops, designed in collaboration with the ‘Illusions’ exhibition, children can learn about different types of illusions (visual, auditory, cognitive). Prepare to be surprised!
