I absolutely LOVE Meow Wolf and thus I had to read this article. They make the coolest installations ever. I heard about meow wolf through their Omega Mart youtube channel. They make these amazing surrealist horror videos that I highly recommend checking out. I actually went to Omega Mart in Las Vegas back in 2019 and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I was there for 6 hours and I’m almost certain I didn’t see everything. There is also a Meow Wolf installation in New York (I forget the name) but same thing. I spent all day there and I still feel like I have more to see. If you ever have the chance to look at their stuff I highly recommend it. All this is to say, I’m SUPER EXCITED about Sky Worm. I thought the video announcing it was so cool. It was a bit campy, but I personally love camp. The multidimensional travel agent was great.

Prior to reading this article, I had never heard of Meow Wolf, and it was mostly the unique name that made me want to click on the article in the first place. After reading the article, I looked up some of Meow Wolf's previous installations, and I found them fascinating. I am a huge fan of any type of interactive art and theater, and I think the experience you can receive when you are fully surrounded by a world of art can be very intense and beautiful. However, I also recognize that the type of work Meow Wolf creates is not for everyone. They have very trippy visuals that could be too distracting or simply too much for many viewers. Even though it is not for everyone, I think that is okay. Not all art should be created for all of society, and I find that niche artwork is sometimes the most fascinating. I look forward to learning more about Meow Wolf and possibly even seeing their installations in the future.
