Advena
W LONDON
Created during the pandemic, Georgia transformed the W London into a staycation destination. Advena (a virtual reality world) explored the ecological and social impact of tourism through an overstimulating sensory experience, drawing on the excessive and fast-paced nature of our current lifestyles.
The experience included VR headsets, AR filters, installation throughout the hotel and a free bookable suite experience. This also featured cocktails and a dessert, to include all the senses.
The experience completely sold out with a waitlist of over 20,000.

“Every now and then the art world witnesses a bright spark cutting through the noise of the industry where everyone, no matter what their taste, has to sit up and take note. Georgia is one of those artists and I personally can’t wait to see the magic she bestows upon the world.”
