Fantasizer places the audience at the center of a circular, multisensory environment combining spatial audio, 360° visuals, dynamic lighting and tactile interaction.
Rather than following a fixed front-facing setup, the experience is designed for free movement and collective interaction, allowing participants to influence the audiovisual system through presence, motion and touch.
By integrating sound, visuals and physical elements into a responsive system, the project explores how immersive environments can shape shared spatial experiences.

Fantasizer challenges the typical directional setups of traditional music events, by placing the audience at the center of the experience. The circular design encourages free movement and dynamic interaction, both with one another and with the room itself. By crafting a multisensory environment where auditory, visual and tactile stimuli intertwine, the project seeks to facilitate a state of primary consciousness marked by heightened emotional responses, a sense of timelessness and a deep connection with the music and surroundings.
