There’s observing art, and then there’s being entirely consumed by it. This is the case at Superblue Miami, which sees you walking through the imaginations and whims of some of the world’s most innovative artists. More than just a place to nourish your Instagram feed, Superblue elevates the experiential museum with meaningful themes and ideas projected from floor to ceiling. There’s Es Devlin’s ‘Forest of Us,’ a mirrored funhouse where walls react to your movements. Then there’s Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s ‘Pulse Topology,’ a light installation powered by you. And if you’ve ever wanted to know what flying on a foggy day feels like, suit up and dive into Teamlab’s ‘Massless Clouds.’ Once you’ve worked up an appetite, grab a bite at Blue Rider, Superblue’s whimsical technicolor cafe by artist Yinka Ilori. 1101 NW 23 St; Permanent; $29 Florida residents, $39 adults, $14 children
In today’s world, everything worth visiting is immersive. It’s harder than ever to capture our attention, time and dollars, so everything from your favorite restaurant to your local botanical garden, has to level up and evolve. Gone are the days where we simply sit back and ‘watch’ (except for a good Netflix binge on the couch, of course – and we’ve got a guide for that). But for those times when we get an itch to leave the house and truly feel something, we damn well expect to be dazzled and delighted.
Enter: “immersive” experiences. Yeah, you know the type…the ones where you’re suddenly engulfed by art or you’re time-traveling thanks to a pop-up centered around nostalgia. Whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, these experiences are here to stay. So, here are the top five immersive pop-ups and experiences to check out in Miami this season.
