Critical Distance
May 2nd, 2024
Pender Island Community Hall







May 2nd, 2024 the Critical Distance experience came to Pender. It was an opportunity to virtually swim with the whales. We saw and heard them, as they swam all around us, hunting for salmon. Kayaks passed overhead and then a huge container ships churned above.
It was a holographic adventure in a 3D underwater world.
90 Penderites came through the Hall, taking turns to enjoy this technically creative visual feast.
A huge thank you to Simres for organizing this.
