In the exhibition space hang multiple panels. When the viewer nears the panels they light up with somehow familiar images. The panels seem to be functioning as windows into an alternate, weird looking version of the Exhibition room.  As the viewer moves the images move as well, tracking his head movement so they align with the space itself. 

By tracking the head the panels essentially function as windows, making the artwork more immersive than if no head-tracking. The beautiful glitchy, psychedelic version of the world that appears beyond the panels make it obvious that this certainly is not the real world but the movement of the images with your head probably have an slight uncanny effect on your senses where you subconsciously think that this must be real, it’s moving according to my perspective.

A similar immersive art piece like this could also evolve in another direction, perhaps one where the differences between the real world and the one being projected aren’t so apparent but are just minor differences that play with your perception of the environment
