Welcome to Cyberpunk: A Virtual Production Experience. 

Step into our immersive mixed reality (MR) experience and explore a world inspired by the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of the Blade Runner universe. Your virtual guide, actor Rosa Salazar, will lead you on an investigation into the future of cutting-edge technologies that create science fiction's most compelling dystopian worlds.

Produced in conjunction with the exhibition Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema, this experience focuses on film aesthetics associated with the science fiction subgenre cyberpunk, which often features near-future settings of urban decay, dystopia, and technology gone haywire.

Just as filmmakers craft entire worlds through advanced production tools, you'll be transported to a cyberpunk landscape without leaving the Academy Museum's lobby. Join us for this groundbreaking exploration where art, technology, and imagination converge to create an unforgettable museum experience.
