Opening The Grand Illusion - 200 Years of Virtual Realities
In the exhibition 'The Grand Illusion – 200 Years of Virtual Realities', Teylers Museum takes you back to the nineteenth century, to the roots of virtual reality, augmented reality and fakes. The exhibition room of the oldest museum in the Netherlands has been transformed into a house of mirrors, where visitors can experience nineteenh-century and contemporary illusions. From mirrors and projectors to the digital genius of AI: 'The Grand Illusion' shows that the fascination for illusions of yesterday is not so different from the experience of today. Until 1 September, have a look in the highlight of Teylers, the Kaiserpanorama, step inside a kaleidoscopic space, look through a VR headset and be entranced by images made by artificial intelligence - or are they? Roll up, roll up for 'The Grand Illusion'!
