Volo (Dreams of Flight)

Melbourne Fringe & Fed Square present Volo: Dreams of Flight By Studio Go Go 

Look down from the clouds as you soar through the sky in a da Vinci-inspired flying contraption – all without leaving the ground.

This VR headset experience lets you pilot one of four flying contraptions inspired by the polymath’s explorations of flights, transforming a regular old playground swing into an exhilarating aerial experience.

Feel the flutter in your belly as your swing catches air and you glide over rugged terrain, soar as an ornithopter, or parachute slowly to earth.

Studio Go Go celebrates da Vinci’s fabulous aerial imaginings in this breath taking work that offers four utterly unique experiences of flight.

VOLO is supported through the Melbourne City Revitalization Fund – a $200 million partnership of the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne.  

About Studio Go Go:

Studio Go Go create thrilling virtual reality adventures for real rides, which include community co-designed VR swing projects and avant-garde revamps for mechanical fairground classics. 

Our work will propel your audience’s experience of an existing mechanical ride into whole new dimensions!  We design and produce bespoke physical ride installations for corporate events, festivals, and permanent installation. We also co-create VR ride experiences with community groups as social enterprise projects. 

Studio Go Go’s team has extensive experience working with clients across the spectrum of the arts (festivals, arts organisations, museums, the cultural sector); the entertainment industry (amusement parks and leisure); professional commissions (design & architecture); and with blue chip clients on global marketing campaigns. We can produce to commission, or work closely with your team to realise their ideas. 

We are world-class creatives and cutting-edge technologists, with an eco-friendly agenda to transport less and reuse more. We develop digital content that can be distributed globally, to be played on mobile VR headsets and existing rides sourced locally.  Our work ranges from avant-garde audio visual artworks, to the creation of playful interactive adventures.
