If tech leads to anxiety more often than serenity, the VR Live Mandala Experience may alter your state of mind. But you’ll need to dash to Allapattah Tuesday to partake.

3D mapping for this event has been designed by SAYOKO OSADA, Japanese-born artist, stage designer, and creative director. Her work combines her conceptual and pragmatic backgrounds in architecture, experiential design, art direction, graphic design, production design, video, 3D, and worldbuilding. Influenced by her immigrant upbringing, she is primarily interested in multisensory channeling of messages and synesthetic orchestration of nuances—so that when you’re there, you just get it.
