The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is India’s first & largest multidisciplinary immersive festival,
created by the team behind Echoes of Earth,
India’s greenest circular festival.
The Sixth Sense is a non-linear journey for those eager to experiment, exploring how art, technology, and nature’s intelligence can elevate human emotion and renew our connection with the natural world. As a platform, it supports and amplifies a new generation of artists and visionaries shaping new media art as an immersive, tech-integrated form of storytelling.
Built as a Nucleus of Discovery, the festival brings together artistic experimentation, technological innovation, and scientific research to help audiences experience the intelligence of nature through pure immersion. Spread across 200,000+ sq. ft of a century-old glass factory in Bengaluru, the festival features large-scale digital installations, spatial sound performances, interactive environments, and learning-led workshops designed by artists, technologists, designers and musicians.

The Glass Factory
A 5 decade old glass factory spread across 200,000 plus square feet becomes our nucleus of discovery. Its stone-clad hangars, towering silo, and small planted forest transform into stages, galleries, and laboratories. The raw industrial bones and digital overlays make the scale tangible. It is a field where light, projection, and movement are the instruments.
Alembic City, established in 1907, is the first of its kind to transform urban spaces into sustainable, collaborative environments. The owners’ vision champions “live connected” design, where work, leisure, art, and nature coexist within walking distance. With green belts, water-sensitive layouts, and a commitment to preserving trees, Alembic celebrates nature instead of conquering it. It provides the ideal ground for The Sixth Sense to take root and reimagine how people gather, create, and share ideas.

THE BANYAN TREE
By Stephen Bontly
An evolving light-and-sound organism inspired by the ancient Banyan tree — a symbol of interconnected intelligence in nature. Step inside a shifting environment of mirrors, fog, lasers and reactive sound where every movement triggers transformation. The installation reveals how collective presence shapes what we see, reminding us that true power lies in connection — not isolation.
