The Jax District in Diriyah has opened up its doors to the Saudi public through an immersive art and virtual reality experience under the theme “A window to your senses.”
Saudi is embarking on a vision of transformation. Committed to a positive sustainable vision by investing in a bright future. The integration of new technologies and new forms of communication are an essential part of this transformation.
Art, as the highest form of human communication, rises within this context to take part in the construction of the future by being an element of elevation of society.
JAX Festival, is an ephimeral immersive exposition organized by the Saudi ministry of culture. A platform that connects international artists through immersive artworks, an extended reality featuring 3D experiences.

A 12-module Dragon installation was showcased in a total of 18m2 at the JAX Festival exhibition. 9m2 were occupied by the installation and the other 9m2 was designated as an interactive area, where people interacted with the Dragon through motion tracking sensors.
Interaction is the capacity for transformation. The human of the future is not only able to understand his integration into the cosmos but is also able to interact and transform it.
At JAX Festival, viewers were able to interact through Kinect motion sensors with a fractal mirror that reflected their actions in real-time, transforming generative visuals to the speed of their thoughts.
The geometric-volumetric representation of the human as an expression of its integration into the cosmos.
Geometry is and has been a fundamental part of the artistic expression of the Middle East. Its legacy to humanity is permanent and undeniable. Nowadays, using the most modern techniques of digital visual design, it is possible to represent these geometric shapes in a real 3D volumetric space.
Creating large-scale humanoid figures based on geometric polygonal constructions the Dragon can generate transformative interventions for both abstract and humanoid expressions.
Each geometric figure contains the previous one. Starting with a tetrahedron, the simplest possible three-dimensional figure, until reaching a human conformation.
