Nestlé Nesquik recently sponsored an elaborate, multi-sensory live experience dubbed "The Bubbleverse" in San Francisco's SoMa district. Open free to the public for two weekends (June 22-23 and 29-30), the experiential art installation was billed as "a cosmic portal into your childhood imagination."
The experience, created by installation artists George Zisiadis and Hillary Andujar, was based on a storyline of "creating happiness" in a laboratory. Visitors were greeted by "Happiness Scientists," asked to suit up as lab assistants (goggles, lab coat, gloves), learned about the process of "distilling happiness," and finally entered The Bubbleverse -- where they were surrounded by thousands of iridescent, "fog-filled" bubbles. (For a video with a sneak peek inside the experience, see The Bubbleverse Facebook page.)
During the learning phase, visitors were asked questions like what makes them happy, their first experiences with bubbles, and if they're fans of chocolate; and during the bubble-surround phase, a scent of chocolate was in the air.
