Housed in the historic Reservatorio da Mae dAgua das Amoreiras water reservoir at the western end of the famous Aqueduto das Aguas Livres aqueduct system in the central Praca das Amoreiras of Lisbon, the Immersivus Gallery Lisboa is the principal continuing projection-mapped immersive art gallery in the Portuguese capital. The venue opened in November 2021 and has been one of the principal continuing contemporary immersive art exhibition spaces of the wider central historic district of Lisbon. The venue was developed by the Portuguese creative production studio Ocubo as the second principal Portuguese immersive projection-mapped art gallery, following the earlier opening of the supplementary Immersivus Gallery Porto in the historic Alfandega customshouse in central Porto in around 2018. The principal commercial development of the wider Immersivus Gallery franchise was initiated by the Ocubo executive producer Edoardo Canessa in around 2017 and represents one of the principal early commercial applications of the wider international projection-mapped art gallery format developed during the mid 2010s by various Russian and French immersive art production studios. The principal exhibition space is the substantial original eighteenth-century main water reservoir of the wider Aqueduto das Aguas Livres aqueduct system, originally constructed between 1745 and 1834 by the Italian architect Carlos Mardel. The principal reservoir is a substantial vaulted underground space measuring approximately fifty metres long by thirty metres wide with the principal vaulted ceiling rising to around fifteen metres above the central water surface. The principal central water reservoir provides the principal projection surface for the wider immersive exhibition programme. The principal projection mapping arrangement uses a total of twenty individual high-output digital projectors covering the entire principal four walls, the principal vaulted ceiling and the four substantial central columns supporting the principal vaulted ceiling. The principal technical media server software is provided by the Austrian projection mapping specialists AV Stumpfl through the principal current generation PIXERA media server system. The principal projection content is calibrated specifically for each individual exhibition through detailed photogrammetric scanning of the substantial original architecture. The principal continuing rotating exhibition programme includes substantial immersive presentations of the various principal modern and contemporary visual art collections from across the international artistic community. The principal past exhibitions have included substantial immersive presentations of the work of Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt and Vincent van Gogh, alongside an Ancient Egypt themed historical immersive exhibition. The principal exhibition programme typically includes around four or five separate substantial individual immersive exhibitions across the various twelve-month operating cycles of the wider venue.
