Welcome to the Salon! In this episode, we spoke with Barney Steel of Marshmallow Laser Feast about 'Evolver' - an 'immersive 360º audiovisual world' - the Cannes Film Festival selected XR experience guided by the voice of Academy Award-winning actor Cate Blanchett and featuring musical scores by Jonny Greenwood, Meredith Monk, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Howard Skempton and Jon Hopkins. Barney is an artist whose expansive vision has taken him from directing music videos for bands like Depeche Mode to creating and exhibiting immersive experiences at places like the Sundance Film Festival, London’s Saatchi Gallery, and most recently, Cannes Film Festival 2024. Marshmallow Laser Feast uses science as a catalyst to create highly interactive and immersive installations exploring the mysteries and wonders of life on our planet.
