EULOGY @ The Shed, Bordon
Welcome to DARKFIELD. We hope you enjoy your stay. At check-in we will issue you a key card and allocate you a chaperone to guide you to the other side of the dream. Follow the right path and don’t volunteer to become the subject of the eulogy every guest is preparing to deliver.
EULOGY is a surreal, otherworldly journey through a dreamlike, labyrinthine hotel that exists entirely in your mind. How you arrived is a mystery and why you’re there remains unclear. Just make sure you read the pamphlet.
Performed in complete darkness over 30 minutes, this intense and exhilarating ride uses binaural sound and speech recognition technology to deceive the senses and transport audience members through rooms, down corridors and into the bowels of this strange and not altogether comfortable hotel. How your dream unfolds is, in part, up to you.

SÉANCE, the first DARKFIELD shipping container experience, transforms the interior of a 24ft container into a Victorian séance room.

ARCADE @ BFI London Film Festival 2024
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
– JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
ARCADE is the latest immersive audio experience from DARKFIELD, but this isn’t an ordinary arcade and these are not ordinary arcade machines. Every machine offers you the chance to enter the world of the game and choose your own unique journey. As you guide your avatar through a world ravaged by endless war, there are many routes you can take and there are many different outcomes.
Using the nostalgic 8-bit aesthetic of 1980’s video games, ARCADE’s interactive narrative explores the evolving relationship between players and avatars. This choose-your-own-path experience will fully immerse players in alternate environments in a completely dark shipping container, using 360 degree binaural sound and sensory effects. Players will be asked to address deep existential questions about free will and consciousness in a world where some may win and some may lose…

Immersive Audio Masterclass @ Denver Centre for Performing Arts
With Artistic Directors Glen Neath & David Rosenberg and Senior Creative Producer/Creative Director Victoria Eyton
In this hands-on practical workshop, over three hours participants will explore DARKFIELD’s practice and immersive story techniques.

Participants will develop an understanding of audio-based storytelling, elements and dynamics that may heighten immersion, and how they can use immersive audio technology in their own creative practice.
No previous experience or equipment required.
