Distinguished circus performer and holder of 56 Guinness World Records, Space Cowboy, has now forged a new direction in fine art that combines emerging technology.

His latest art exhibition ‘Enjoy the Ride’ will be held at Otherworld in Byron’s CBD, and combines digital with traditional mediums, which encourages exploration and interaction from viewers.

Space Cowboy told The Echo, ‘“Enjoy the Ride” introduces the use of augmented reality (AR) technology, transforming the artworks into interactive worlds. It’s open to all ages, and I lead guests through the realms of the extraordinary, which includes the death-defying act of sword swallowing, to the intrigue of spoon bending using the power of the mind’.

Eight live events 

Spanning eight live events, he says the exhibition is ‘designed to captivate both families and art aficionados’. Scheduled shows are from 5pm on April 5, 6, 7, and April 12, 13, 14, with matinees from 3pm on April 6 and 13. 

Space Cowboy adds, ‘The Otherworld Gallery offers a groundbreaking interactive light and art experience, featuring artists from across the world who work at the leading edge of art and technology. Entry includes access to all Otherworld’s incredible interactive installations, live performances and the all-new “Enjoy the Ride” exhibition. Refreshments available’.

Tickets are available at www.otherworld.live.
