About this event

AAAMaze is a new Watermans/Artcast4D commission by Polish artist Pawel Janicki 

Launch event: Wed 12 February, 5pm - 7pm

Interactive installation, AAAMaze features an infinite, constantly evolving real-time generated labyrinth. Throughout history, labyrinths and mazes have been, central to mythology, psychology, and more recently game design - classic games like Snake (1976) and Pac-Man (1979) highlight their immersive appeal. Mazes challenge us, engage our imaginations, and invite exploration, becoming timeless metaphors for understanding our reality.

AAAMaze is a labyrinth that can be explored by the public, but with a twist - it's an infinite labyrinth generated in real time for the audience. Only a part of the labyrinth is visible at one time, and the invisible parts of the labyrinth change constantly, making it impossible to return to a previous location.

Commissioned and presented by Watermans Arts Centre as a pilot commission for the EU funded project ArtCast4D with financial support from the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme and curated by Klio Krajewska.

AAAMaze is presented in collaboration with International Arts and Visual Culture (IVAC) Research Centre, Richmond American University London
