Wisdome LA Reopens and Includes a New Exhibition

Wisdome LA, the 24,000 sq. ft. art entertainment park located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, just reopened and added a new exhibition, Mystic Universe. When they opened to the public Friday, September 17, the immersive art and meditation experience took visitors on a journey through consciousness that is beyond the imagination and the boundaries of space and time. Through art and modern technology, guests explore new dimensions, receive the knowledge of ancient civilizations, see reconstructed ancient monuments, balance their chakras through breathwork meditation, and unravel the secrets of the sacred universe.

Wisdome LA’s Mystic Universe exhibition features more than 90 minutes of mind-blowing visual content spanning six styles of immersive art — visionary, fractal, comic, mediative, installation, and projection — from internationally acclaimed artists. Consciousness is explored as guests journey through three art-filled, 360-degree, geodesic domes to experience six immersive shows, including: Beyond Nirvana, Yogi’s Journey, Fractal Time, Luminokaya, Angkor Wat, and Samskara. Exhibition access includes all six shows, access to the domes, and a special 25-minute immersive breathwork meditation that will purify and balance the chakras.

About Mystic Universe

For thousands of years, mystics and scientists have tried to depict the wonders of the universe, beginning with a map of the starry sky, and ending with three elephants standing on a turtle supporting the Earth. However, for the first time in the history of mankind, and with the assistance of computer graphics and animation, we can see the ideas of ancient sages embodied in the works of modern artists.

The sacred universe is not a physical cosmos that can be studied by instruments, but a metaphysical galaxy. Based on the understanding of ancient sages, the sacred universe is a hierarchy of levels of consciousness. Berkeley declared “peace in the mind.” What matters is not that we see it, but how we understand it. This understanding is not a subject of controversy, but a revelation born in the process of comprehending the universe.

From the creators of SAMSKARA, the exhibition draws from the work of Dutch visual artist Julius Horstuis, Russian visionary artist Luminokaya and graphic artist Igor Baranko. These artists have been involved in the creation of the Oscar-winning film “Manchester by the Sea” and the animated series “The Simpsons” as well as have had art installations featured at Coachella Music & Arts Festival and Burning Man.

Luminokaya – This full dome show takes the audience to Angkor Wat, and shows it as an ancient model of the cosmic world – a miniature universe set in stone. The creators of the show have attempted to portray the metaphysical aspects of the temple to show mystical and spiritual ideas behinds its design

Angkor Wat – Explore Angkor Wat, the temple complex of the ancient Khmer capital located in present day Siem Reap, Cambodia. Time-lapse photography makes visitors appear as ghost-like figures as the camera slowly pans through the crumbling ruins.
