In the midst of the effervescence of psychedelic art in the 1960s and 1970s, a series of staging projects were relevant for their ability to generate new non-linear spaces in which the viewer would become a “temporary builder of the experience and master of his own enjoyment”. Thus, a set of projects in which interactive spaces coexisted with all kinds of inflatable structures will be studied; this will be joined by music and melodies that would allow the users to immerse themselves in a kind of hallucinatory ‘journey’, similar to psychotropic experiences.
What was intended with these playful-festive environments was not so much to comfort the viewer, but to show these strategies as a new field for environmental games, experimentation in all its senses and the exploration of a new and unexpected perceptive reality through the superposition of multiple stimuli.
