The Buzz About Meta-Space 
Jasper von Meerheimb presented current ideas in creating “meta-spaces,” multi- dimensional visitor destinations designed to facilitate personal transformation in public settings. He provided creative examples from various diverse projects. Jasper gave a fantastic presentation!
As an independent consultant, Jasper works internationally on many types of themed visitor destinations. Originally from Canada, he graduated from the University of Alberta with a Masters in Theater Design and promptly left for Mexico to design for Club Med. Never looking back he went on to California to work with Walt Disney Imagineering, Lotte World, Getty Museum, etc. He is on assignment in Osaka as Senior Art Director with Universal Studios Japan, which he helped originally to design and build.
