In June, the immersive underwater Ocean Cube exhibit is coming to New York City and it is one that offers a perspective on human life in the deep ocean in 2119. The futuristic exhibit brings scenes to life where people live under the sea with five rooms and 20 "Instagrammable spots."
In the Jellyfish Station, artists created large-scale jellyfish that make visitors feel small, helping people to get a new perspective on life in the ocean. In this room of the Ocean Cube installation, people are said to "feel a sense of lightness" from the gravity-defying jellyfish.
While the Ocean Room installation is set to have plenty of fixtures for people to marvel at, it will also offer plenty of food for thought on current environmental issues with the Net Guard, Recycle Bank and the Coral Tunnel.
