Forget Shark Boy, this summer the public art experience that will have everyone talking is all about salmon. UNINTERRUPTED, the outdoor cinematic spectacle that lit up Vancouver’s Cambie Bridge in the summer of 2017, is back and on the move. And because the world is much different in 2021, this time the experience is in Virtual Reality.  Not just any VR - synchronized, outdoor virtual reality for small audiences.

The site-specific work that thrilled residents and visitors alike is now swimming in 3D and touring cities throughout Metro Vancouver in VR.  Starting in July, UNINTERRUPTED will be presented at various outdoor locations. No need to own a headset - one will be provided for you. The event is designed so audiences of twenty can be immersed in the experience together, while apart. UNINTERRUPTED brings a little community connection back - safely -  to local neighbourhoods after a long year of pandemic restrictions.

UNINTERRUPTED maps the extraordinary migration of Pacific salmon on a city bridge in a unique 30-minute visual and sound experience. With visual poetry, it inspires audiences to reflect on the intersection of urban life and nature. It’s the heart of the river delivered to the heart of a city - and now in more cities than ever. 

Seeing is believing. Click here to see a video clip of what you’ll find in the goggles. 

UNINTERRUPTED on-location VR showings launch on July 7th - 11th outside of the Museum of Vancouver for a 5-evening run with 4 showings every evening. The production will then move to the Shipyard Commons in North Vancouver and then outdoors at the Burnaby Art Gallery.  Each audience member is fitted with a VR headset and seated in a swivel chair in order to enjoy the 360-degree experience. Seating is distanced and outdoors, and all equipment is sanitized between showings with ultraviolet light used to clean the sensitive equipment.  

The event is still free but seats must be booked in advance, online booking is now open at uninterrupted.ca.

The Uninterrupted project continues to evolve through the creative collaboration of director Nettie Wild, producers Betsy Carson and Rae Hull, editor Michael Brockington and a diverse team of artists and media specialists. A committed network of sponsors has made the summer tour possible and helped to ensure the event remains free to the public. 

More locations and dates will be announced throughout the summer. Sign-up at uninterrupted.ca for the most up-to-date information.
