James Hood is renowned as a vital and versatile musical pioneer - especially with his work on the PanART hang, a uniquely mesmeric melodic instrument, and for his collaborations with international animation artists.
His lengthy and varied musical resumé includes playing drums in The Pretenders, an ongoing two-decades-plus run as the mastermind of visionary ambient/electronica act Moodswings, and an expansive array of production and soundtrack projects.
Mesmerica XL is a giant-screen 3D experience unlike anything you’ve seen before, from the visionary mind of James Hood.

There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures.
Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.
We have found that autistic people love our experiences, though everyone's experience may vary.
Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required.
Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.
In the Aquarium’s state-of-the-art Simons Theatre, visitors are immersed in films and spectacular cinematography on a giant screen nearly five stories high.
The Simons Theatre has an advanced laser cinema projector that brings more razor-sharp images to the giant 80-foot-wide, 43-foot-high projection screen. There are comfortable, high-backed seats, and a 1,600-square-foot stage. As part of the Aquarium’s sustainability initiative, renovations in 2020 introduced new carpeting made of 100 percent recycled yarn from discarded fishing nets.
