I’m developing Airship Simulator from a simple starting point: I love music festivals, and I want to create something people can experience together. My idea is to bring an airship into the festival landscape—not as a distant spectacle, but as a place you can step inside.
For me, a music festival is more than its timetable. It’s the music, of course, but also the light changing over the grounds, the artwork between stages, and the people sharing the same moment. I want this experience to belong to that world, rather than take you away from it.
I imagine the airship as an invitation to change perspective. From the grass, it would be a landmark. Inside, a circular observation deck would surround you with a full 360-degree panorama. The idea is to share the feeling of rising above the festival in an immersive pavilion—simulated flight, not an airborne ride.
What excites me is the connection between an imaginative object and a shared experience. I want the exterior to give people something to discover, and the interior to offer somewhere to pause, look around, and see the festival differently. I’m not just designing an image to look at. I’m imagining a room full of people.
That idea shapes the details I care about. The deck is circular because I don’t want the view to have a single front. The music and imagery need to feel like parts of the same place. And this website gives you a way to explore what I’m working toward before the physical installation exists.
I’m still developing the project. The browser simulator and concept illustrations show the direction I’m exploring; they aren’t documentation of a completed attraction. My proposed next step is a small guest study, so the experience can be tested before a larger pavilion is built.
For now, I’m shaping the airship and looking for people who can help bring it into the world: festival hosts, creative collaborators, and production partners. I want to create a shared moment of wonder in a place already alive with music. If that speaks to you, I’d love to talk.
