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
DCPA Off-Center produces unexpected theatrical experiences that put the audience at the center of the story. What began in 2010 as a small theatrical test kitchen has grown into a signature line of programming for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, credited with bringing immersive theatre to Colorado and helping establish Denver as a national hub for immersive art.
Off-Center’s large-scale productions that have garnered local and national praise include: Theater of the Mind created in collaboration with David Byrne and Mala Gaonkar, Sweet & Lucky created with Third Rail Projects, The Last Defender with The House Theatre of Chicago, Perception featuring live music by Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa, a 360-degree staging of The Wild Party, and Camp Christmas with artist Lonnie Hanzon. With support from the Doris Duke and Wallace foundations, Off-Center has been recognized as a national leader in developing new programming that attracts new audiences. Through Off-Center, the DCPA is the only professional regional theatre in the country regularly developing and producing large-scale immersive and experiential work.
