Metavisual immersive room (Uniacque Educational Center)

At the heart of the Uniacque treatment plant in Cologno al Serio, the Educational Center welcomes visitors into an immersive space where the story of water, “Io sono Acqua” (I Am Water), becomes a tangible experience.

Blu Oberon designed an environment where matter, light and technology merge into an emotional narrative dedicated to the Bergamo area and its integrated water system. At the centre of the room lives the Metavisual Model: a vast physical representation of the province of Bergamo that, through video projections, sound and interaction, comes to life as a landscape in transformation. The mountains, watercourses, infrastructure and the invisible traces of the water service emerge gradually, composing a visual narrative able to make perceptible what normally remains hidden. The interactive console and the sensors built into the Metavisual Model allow visitors to take part directly in the narrative. The gesture becomes discovery, touch ignites scenarios, and the questions and answers of the quizzes for adults and children translate into light, movement and visible consequences.

Around the Metavisual Model, the room builds a symbolic landscape: the seats – river pebbles designed by Marcel Wanders for Slide – invite visitors to pause, suspended luminous filaments trace the flow of water in the air, the innovative backlit parametric wall echoes the undulating rhythm of liquid matter, while the passage of visitors modulates the Liquid Light Gateway like a perceptual threshold. The result is an environment to be experienced: a place where knowledge becomes emotion, water turns into story and technology dissolves into the wonder of the experience.
