MURALS

MURALS

is an Awards-winning immersive visual experience that uses cutting-edge 3D scanning to place viewers face to face with the war devastation in Ukraine. The not-for-profit UA-PL-USA-SP art project, initiated by Artem Ivanenko, digital artist from Irpin, follows captures of Banksy’s artwork left on the rubble of people’s homes, schools and infrastructure around its war-torn city.

CONCEPT AND EXECUTION

The primary objective was to go beyond the traditional perception of events and art. This is not just a recreation of famous murals in a digital space, but the creation of narratives, stories, and an entire world around them, infused with meaning and interactivity. Using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology and development in Unreal Engine, a photorealistic environment was created that allows the user to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere and the nightmarish story hidden behind each piece.

This project showcased highest level of expertise in creating social immersive experiences – from concept design and storytelling to complex technical execution and optimization for immersive screening and multiple types of vision platform.
