We are building a new land and story which we think will be fun. Watch for the opening in the fall and come join the adventure. We will be posting some sneak peeks as we go along. Remember it's a WIP so things change. The Watcher Tribe: copyright mchugh 2023 From around the globe, these hearty peoples traveled for generations to reach the spot where GOD reached down from above and touched the earth. They grew in numbers and bonded into a tribal family with the same quest and vision. To pay homage to the spirit of the earth and see the spot that exploded with a sound heard around the world and a flash so bright only shadows remain of things that once lived nearby. For thousands of years, the tales and stories have been handed down from generation to generation as they migrated toward the site. A sacred site. In that time this special tribe mastered the knowledge of the stars and the magic of numbers. Each new learning is guarded and protected by the tribe. The "Watcher Tribe".

This was a project I co-created and co-developed with R&S Production Services Inc. in 2010. It was a 20,000 sq. ft. digital interactive aquarium with a budget of 22 million dollars and using the absolute state of the art in touch, gesture and headset technology for that time period. My work product was creative narrative developer , show designer , space programmer, set designer, art director, and illustrator as well as driving the studies to determine the technology to be used and ROM budget analysis.

We will be adjusting some things and are planning an encore performance but until then feel free to drop in. Works best with a free Kitely avatar. This is an on-demand server sim so it takes a few mins to spin up if you are the first to enter.

This is a "bootstrapped" project I have developed over the past 2 years that attempts to bring contemporary artists, makers, creatives & technologists together in a virtual venue to engage in fun community events that will intermingle and blend art, entertainment, technology & commerce in a fun new way for both Virtual & Real Life. This video shows only about 1/3 of the experience which includes multiple live entertainment venues, VR & RL shopping, action games & a Dome presentation documentary theater. And we are just getting started. The Grand Opening is October 27th, 2022, from 12pm to 5pm on the Kitely Grid @ Anvil Island. AKA Immersion Island. Everyone is invited. It is not rocket science. Go to Kitely.com and sign up for a free account and drop in and have FUN!

Buddha & The Beast : This is a test video from inside the Immersion Island Dome project. Each artist /artist team will be given a time slot to showcase their "Dome" art for a given event or show. Here I am trying to get the streaming worked out and have added an inworld conference stream so that artists can contribute to discussions or add to the live performance event. We can have this experience sharded so that 1,000 / 10,000 or more avatars can enjoy it

This video is the current generation in the development process. We started big, blue sky and fun and have massaged it down to reality and fun. This building works best with the existing other historic structures on the site and through the magic of "design engineering" we are transforming a classic barn design into a value engineered construction solution using steel truss systems similar to a Butler building. We anticipate some nice facility cost savings critical for this type of project. The design intent is to merge and celebrate the past and explore the future with engaging stories and content using fun immersive / interactive technologies.

I have been looking at this 300 acres for the past 30 years as a possible destination experience. This past year I put my thoughts on paper just for fun to see what it might look like. I pushed the main show and event tent structure to a staggering 400,000 sq. feet exploring alternative open-air free-span venue ideas. Just having some fun and trying to make something good happen.

This is a design for one of my LED sculptures. It is inspired by "Flight" and "Space Exploration". This video is part of an NFT I have offered through Minatable. The NFT will also be a purchase order for a full-size LED sculpture with custom video and audio content. The price of the NFT will cover all costs for the fabrication and installation of this piece anywhere in the world. ( special import-export taxes not included) It will be engineered & crafted to exacting specifications and using quality materials from an award-winning LED manufacturer.
