Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: At some point in “DODO,” I felt like I was floating. Or was it a waking dream?
The exploration of the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History throws open behind-the-scenes doors and illuminates bonds among humanity, art and science.
If that sounds mysterious, eerie and even a bit spiritual, that’s because it is all that, and more.

Although there isn’t a lot of information, this is a very intriguing idea. Something I would love to see come to light if it has not already. It is explained as an immersive journey and it tailors to the individuals entering which is not only very intriguing but leaves me with a want for more. It sounds like something from a movie where they stick you inside a world and you can interact with that world as though you were actually there. Your senses are engaged, the visuals stunning and so much more. That technology is out of our reach of course, for now. But this leaves me with a lot of questions and a lot of want for more. Why is it called “DODO” and where can I find it? Will more information be released? How does it work? What can you do with it, what can you further do with it after that? How might this affect technology, the world, and the people experiencing it? I’m very curious and am excited to learn and hear more about it.
This sound like a really interesting experience. I wish the article included more picture or a better description of the physical display. The DODO experience seems like something that would be very fun to go through, but as a someone who studies theater, I really wish this article detailed the ins and outs of how this experience works. Immersive theater is becoming more and more common, but each performance is very different, some use actors, and some rely on technology. I assume this experience uses technology more than anything to create and immersive interactive experience. Perhaps what I find a bit confusing is that it is in the museum but it is advertised as a theatrical experience, which normally are two very different art forms. The article also hints at a similar piece that was in the same space before this one, I would like to read about that one as well.
