Immerse yourself inside a 16th-century prayer bead and explore the intricate carvings made visible through the power of micro-computed tomography (CT scanning) and virtual reality. Produced by the Canadian Film Centre’s Media Lab (CFC Media Lab) and Seneca College School of Creative Art & Animation, this artistic and technical collaboration between AGO Conservator Lisa Ellis, and Interactive Artist/Designer Priam Givord marks the first time anyone will be able to move through, around, and within one of these small wonders.

Five-minute sessions are available at the following times: Friday, March 31–Sunday, April 2 and Friday, May 12–Sunday, May 14, 10:30 am–5:00 pm in the Fuentidueña Chapel. Your session will be one of six available in a half-hour period.

Please arrive before the start of your half-hour period. We regret that we cannot hold your place if you are late.

All participants will be required to sign a waiver before using the equipment.
