On this occasion, a video was projected in fulldome format (360°) with a duration of 8 minutes, which combined material recorded in 360º format with graphics and 3D animations that were building a story about the Buenos Aires identity.
On the map of the province, an animated assistant (that is, a 3D character) planted “cultural flags” that reflected the Buenos Aires identity and functioned as a common thread from which natural and urban landscapes, cultural and sports experiences were connected.
“We are convinced that they are spaces in which the State must guarantee the right to culture and productions from Buenos Aires. It is a pride for us to be part of this anniversary in which we promote proposals with established artists who coexist with emerging artists from our province”, said the president of the Buenos Aires Cultural Institute, Florencia Saintout.
