Anyone that knows me understands that sometimes I see something and I just jump to try it. Very little research is usually done and the experience of it is worth everything, I don’t analyze to see if its worth the monetary costs$, which is why I’m usually broke, and I don’t read reviews to see if I should go or not, unless its an Airbnb and then those reviews are important 🙂
The Otherworld was one of those times. I follow an Instagram site for things to do in Ohio and when I saw a photo of this place, I booked an Airbnb in Columbus and decided to make a road trip out of it.
I found this review on the internet to help describe this place for this blog “Otherworld is an art installation built by more than 40 artists. They filled a 32,000-square-foot facility with large-scale works, secret passages, and playgrounds that blur the line between virtual and digital. Each of Otherworld’s 47 rooms is designed to resemble a science-fiction fantasyland.”
I honestly had no idea that is what I was getting into, but that description sums it up nicely.
What fun right? Nothing but room after room of creativity.
Some rooms you walk into and its difficult to really make anything of it except being in some crazy creative’s head! Which is totally worth the trip in itself.
This room was a cobweb maze of glow in the dark cords, complete with hanging swings which were always occupied.
Sometimes walking into rooms made me feel like I was on a movie set or Avatar.
People of all ages were there. It was an indescribable experience.
When you ducked into this mouth, there was a uvula hanging down.
You could crawl into the mouths of a lot of lower tunnels and find yourself in another fantasy land when you exited.
I was fascinated by all the materials used, the textures, creative use of fabrications. Wondered what I would do if given a room to design.
Of course mirrors played a large part in the visual effects.
I enjoyed walking through these strands of loose everchanging colored lights.
A few rooms were underwater themed with constant movement and walls you could interact with some complete with sound effects.
George and I- lost in the halls of mirrors which seemed like a never-ending tunnel.
Cool to see how color effects your mood.
It was fun to just surround yourself in a new experience with no expectations or agenda.
