Mise Gaillimh: Galway 2020 Capital of Culture

The Problem

As the European Capital of Culture, Galway needed to showcase its rich cultural heritage and vibrant community spirit to a global audience. The challenge was to capture the essence of Galway's diverse landscape and artistic talent in a medium that could transcend physical borders, especially important during a year disrupted by global travel restrictions.

Our Solution

We created "Mise Gaillimh" (I am Galway), a poetic and visual VR journey through the county. This immersive experience combined stunning 360-degree aerial cinematography of Connemara and the Wild Atlantic Way with intimate spatial audio performances by local poets and artists. It allowed viewers from around the world to stand in the heart of Galway's culture.

The Results

The experience served as a digital cornerstone for the Capital of Culture program, enabling international audiences to experience the magic of Galway remotely. It stands as a lasting digital legacy of the 2020 celebrations.
