Perceptual Experience

Dive into the extraordinary in Chicago with renowned inventor and artist Michael Murphy’s inaugural showcase, Perceptual Experience. Murphy, whose groundbreaking work in Perceptual Art has captivated audiences worldwide, will bring a number of his most celebrated creations together for the first time in an all-new interactive art experience at The Shops at North Bridge art space starting September 14, 2023.

Perceptual Experience invites guests to embark on an unforgettable sensory journey where illusion meets art through perception-shifting works that incorporate sight, sound and movement. Unlike traditional art displays, Perceptual Experience is designed for active participation, with the works shifting into different forms as guests move around them.

Touching across a variety of topical subjects, this one-of-a-kind collection of captivating experiential installations ranges from the playful and visually dazzling “Wow” to the poignant “Polina” inspired by the story of a Ukrainian refugee girl and her family. Also on view will be one of Murphy’s most iconic pieces “Air,” in which an illusion of the Air Jordan One transforms into the iconic Jumpman logo.

This interactive experience is designed to play with the mind and delight the senses. Find out more at www.theperceptualexperience.com.
