CIRCULEIGHT features designs and real-time interactive visuals inspired by eight elements: lava, basalt, glacier, water, flora, algae, microorganism and volcanic gas.
Throughout the installation, audiences are fully immersed into this world through a powerful score of original music by renowned Icelandic composer, singer and songwriter Högni Egilsson. Eglisson’s music, when combined with the boundary-pushing technology that defines ARTECHOUSE, enables audiences to experience this unique story in a completely unforgettable way.
