#INTHEAIREVERYWHERE

   Porta Estellar ("Star Gate" in Catalan) was an immersive art installation featured at last year's La Mercé festival in Barcelona.
   Produced by PlayMID, a collaboration between studios Playmodes (Santi Vilanova and Eloi Maduell) and MID (Alex Posada), Porta Estellar featured innovative light and sound effects to take visitors on a galactic adventure. A statement from PlayMID said, "Through the creation of visual and sound sequences that suggest the idea of interstellar travel, [the] audience flies to outer space in an intense trip, from departure and takeoff to the sighting of comets, planets, galaxies and alien worlds, until finally returning safely to earth."
   Porta Estellar took place inside the salvaged fuselage of a DC-9 that crashed at Grenada Airport in 1992. It was rescued by artist Eduardo Cajal—he has collaborated with several artists over the years who have used the plane as a setting for art installations.
