Looking at the Metaverse and how artists imagine it to be

Electric Artefacts

“Georgia Tucker is an artist, extended reality designer and environmental activist. Utilising virtual reality and physical installations, Tucker’s practice draws attention to environmental concerns by modelling complex spaces, materiality and ecologies as digital experiences; relying on a collaboration with the viewer.”

Elite Traveller

“Tropical-themed wallpaper lines the walls, the bathtub has been transformed into a ball pit and neon lighting throws pink and blue tinges across the space, but it is the hypnotic projections and sounds viewed through a VR headset that truly brings the installation to life.”

Art of London

“Advena: Georgia Tucker discusses her immersive installation exhibited at W London”

FAD Magazine

“Immerse yourselves in a tropical paradise through a virtual reality experience, and also use augmented reality to create a world within the hotel room. It’s a chance to get away while remaining in London and it hit the spot for me.”

Four Magazine

“As travel begins to resume, the experience hopes to provoke conversations around what it is travellers now seek from their holidays, and if the need for ‘instagrammable’ moments and experiences have overtaken the desire for the destination itself.”

Absolutely London

“Ten of the coolest things to do in London – Advena has been created to fuel guests ‘lust for life’, offering a tropical getaway in the heart of the city.”

Graphical Tree

“For the project, we transformed W London’s wow suite into a visual sensation featuring tropical fauna wallpaper and colourful architecture.”

Business Works

“An artist has created an imaginative virtual reality and physical experience that has launched in London this month thanks to space donated by Birmingham-based real estate investors.”

Onin London

“Seeking inspiration from dreamscapes, tropical islands, and Luis Baragan’s architectural designs the Advena Island Escape is an amalgamation of pink and orange fluorescent hues, swaying palms, geometric contours, giant pineapples and exotic vistas.”

The Luxury Editor

“During the creation of the project, Georgia analysed Gen 7 and Millennials travel habits and the reasons that lie behind visiting certain destinations.”

The Resident

“Pop the headset on and away you go to a technicoloured island dreamscape with exotic vistas. Scan the QR code to confuse your reality with palms, pineapples and tropical weirdness that’s also a whole lot of fun.”

New Art West Midlands

BBC Arts

“Artist and activist Georgia Tucker uses virtual reality to show viewers worlds that are both alien and familiar. Her latest piece, Conniveo, provides a poignant glimpse of a landscape far from civilisation but still scarred by human activity.”

Coventry Biennial

“Terra Firma (2019) by Georgia Tucker combines a physical and VR installation which explores the environmental crisis through different spaces. The installation is a narrow room that houses an immersive and interactive VR environment portraying a speculative future of increasing consumerism.”
