An immersive exhibition blending science, art, and the future of vision

We are excited to announce “SEEING: Un ull i una caixa“, a public exhibition born from the collaboration between the CRG, coordinator of the ECaBox project, and the artistic collective NAKED SPACE. This experimental and accessible installation invites visitors into a multisensory journey through vision, light, and scientific imagination.

📍 Location: Centre Cívic Convent de Sant Agustí (C/ Comerç 36, 08003 Barcelona)

Through inflatable structures, soundscapes, and holograms, the installation invites the public to rethink what it means to “see” and to reflect on the scientific advances shaping the future of visual health. The exhibition is fully accessible to visitors with visual impairments, with audio descriptions accompanying the installations.
