THE CREATIVES BEHIND THE INFINITE
Produced by
INFINITY Experiences is a joint venture founded in April 2020 between PHI Studio and Felix & Paul Studios, two major pioneers in the XR industry. It endeavors to create and distribute cutting-edge large-scale projects through spatial and immersive exhibitions, such as the ground-breaking Location-Based Entertainment experience Space Explorers: THE INFINITE. This first production redefined the industry standards for immersive location-based experiences through creative innovation technologies that allow 150 visitors to simultaneously go into space and visit the International Space Station (ISS), creating the world's first large-scale interactive and collective experience around space exploration.
A joint venture and creative collaboration between
PHI Studio has developed a reputation as an incubator for talent at the vanguard and as a catalyst for the conception and implementation of immersive multidisciplinary projects. We are continually exploring the ways in which technology can lead to new forms of artistic expression and storytelling. Studio PHI is committed to collaborating with artists, producers, and partners to foster the creation and development of innovative artworks at the vanguard, shaping the future of the immersive experience.
Felix & Paul Studios is an Emmy® award-winning immersive entertainment studio dedicated to producing engaging, innovative and groundbreaking virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality experiences for audiences around the world, including Space Explorers: The ISS Experience.
Space Explorers: THE INFINITE is an extension of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning immersive series Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, the most ambitious production ever filmed in space, produced by Felix & Paul Studios in association with TIME Studios in collaboration with the U.S International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory, NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, ROSCOSMOS, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center. Shot over a period of three years, and producing more than 250 hours of high-end virtual reality footage, the four-part immersive series documents the life of ten international astronauts inside—and outside—the ISS.

In association with
Blumenthal Arts is one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit arts organizations. We are dedicated to enriching and improving the lives of each member of our community.
We present the largest Broadway season in the Carolinas, along with a large array of special attractions and festivals, from concerts to comedy to dance and much more. We manage four theaters where the curtain goes up on more than 1,000 events annually, including performances by our 16 resident companies. More than 8.3 million people attended events in our theaters during our first 30 seasons. We present the Charlotte International Arts Festival (CIAF), a Blumenthal Arts Original. CIAF uniquely brings together Charlotte’s local and international communities with global artists in a cultural celebration, with most events free and outdoors. We innovate with cutting edge immersive projects, coming off the most successful presentation of Immersive van Gogh in North America with over 300,000 tickets sold. We inspire kids to Dream Big Dreams. More than 150,000 students participate annually in programs ranging from internships to specially priced show tickets to The Blumey Awards, which celebrates excellence in high school musical theater. We believe the arts unite and transform individual lives. We ensure access through our Arts For All Access Grants, which serve thousands of individuals each year with free and subsidized ticket and programs. We shape the future of the arts through the new and original works we help produce and by nurturing artists. We support Charlotte artists, like our award-winning Slam Charlotte poets and the Blumenthal Fellows. We also help shape each Broadway season in New York through our investments in new musical and plays. We have won 13 Tony Awards. We infuse more than $80 million annually into our local economy.
We gratefully are supported by individuals, corporations and government whose charitable gifts enable us to accomplish so many good things for our community.
