Description

The human cell is still a mystery to us in many ways.
We cannot see it with the naked eye, only with
the help of powerful microscopes.
This Virtual Reality presents an imaginary inside of a human eukaryotic cell, enlarged about 300.000 times to become a gigantic space in which we can move around and imagine what the interior would look like, from the cell nucleus in the center to the various organelles surrounding it, like the endoplasmic reticulum, the cytosceleton, the mitocondria..

The work SOFT FACTORY was constructed at the Royal Institute of Technology KTH Stockholm and at the Medialab of Aalborg University Denmark 2008-2009.
Inaugurated at the MediaLab at Aalborg University in 2010.
