The Meow Wolf of Flow: Exploring Creativity and Connection

Libby's Substack

In the summer of 2018, I stepped into the Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return for the first time. I didn’t just visit an art installation—I walked into a portal of infinite possibilities, a space where curiosity was the compass. Each room was alive with immersive, surreal beauty: a refrigerator opened into another dimension! A treehouse glowed with otherworldly light! Corridors twisted like dreams made tangible! It wasn’t just an experience; it was a conversation with imagination itself.

American Theatre

Fast forward some years to my current role as the exhibition creative director for Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart in Las Vegas. Meow Wolf is a wildly inclusive and artistically expressive company, using immersive installations to literally construct alternate realities that blur the line between fact and fiction. Meow Wolf welcomes the misfit, the outsider, both among its artists and in its invitation to the public to explore our exhibits. We sort of trick people, in a way, into experiencing installation art without having to go experience installation art. The heady, conceptual environment of a museum space—a deterrent to many—doesn’t exist within a Meow Wolf exhibit. Audiences instead enter an expansive, playful headspace, where they’re thus more willing to engage with experimental work.

Immersion and the Suspension of Disbelief The term immersive as it relates to art suggests a suspension of critical thinking and logic for the purpose of “buying into” the narrative.
