In this era of computer screens and virtual ideas, this project sheds new light on what can be achieved through the convergence of technologies. We wholly support Simon and the team in bringing the Garden to fruition and encouraging the audiences into the immersive world they are creating.” |

“This sounds like a very cool project, intriguing, exciting and takes us into the 21st century.” |
John Waters – Artist, Film director, Author
“Finally, an amusement park whose focus is edge and humour rather than theme park dreariness and market-tested blandness. Garden of Ideas could be the Coney Island of my dreams; scary because it will be so close to the horrors of the real world but thrilling in its commercial appeal to everybody without “dumbing down” the social satire. Hopefully, the joyous rebel in every curious spectator will be excited just like I am by the whole idea. What can I say, I’m a true carney at heart.” |
