Captured

Captured is a participatory installation that captures your likeness to release it as an autonomous avatar into a virtual crowd. You become an actor and spectator in a scenario where individual freedom is taken over by collective instincts. The doubles are avatars in a simulation depicting an unsettling cyclical performance of ritualized social humiliation, each becoming a character in one of the groups making up the bullying triangle: the Bully, the Target or the Bystander. How does the behaviour of the virtual collective affect the relationships in the audience in the real world?

The Smallest of Worlds – A Social Landscape of Collected Privacy

Our houses are as much anthologies of stories and precious memories, as they are places of rest and comfort. Since these unprecedented weeks of isolation and home quarantine, our domestic spaces have been given high priority; they became indispensable places of safe refuge that we could hardly leave. Either alone or with those with whom we live, we engaged into new spatial relationships. We dedicated ourselves to new routines, needs, and activities, we found new niches and corners to come to rest, to rethink, to speculate and contemplate.
This moment connects us everywhere and since we still can’t get together, we invite you to merge our places of seclusion.

As an immersive experience and interactive archive, The Smallest of Worlds unfolds a shared domestic landscape; an expanding, virtual diorama representing fragments of our everyday life in times of social distance and self-separation. It invites everyone to participate and to share their personal memories and subjective perspectives.

The team of The smallest of Worlds – A Social Landscape of collected Privacy has found together during the IMMENSIVA VR/AI Residence 2020 at ESPRONCEDA – Institute of Art & Culture, an innovative platform for contemporary art, education and cultural distribution in Barcelona.

Let’s get Virtual! Chances and Limits of Virtual Festivals

Speakers

Mark Atkin (Curator Interactive CPH:DOX)

Michel Reilhac  (programmer Venice VR; Head of studies for Venice Biennale College Cinema and Cinema VR)

Dr. Judith Guez (Founder | Director Art&VR Festival Recto VRso – Laval Virtual)

Presentation

Ulrich Schrauth


Various virtual formats are being developed, reflecting the current need to be able to transport content without limits. VR art seems particularly suitable to happen exclusively in virtual space. We will meet with XR festival makers and discuss the opportunities that lie in the current experiments in virtual implementation, what new possibilities can arise in the long term from digital festival formats, and if and how physical implementation will always remain the better option.

Let’s VRHAM! together

Live from our hub in Hamburg’s Oberhafenquartier we close VRHAM! VIRTUAL 2020 with a musical experiment. In cooperation with the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival we invite musicians of the PODIUM Festival to join us in Hamburg and to let them virtually travel around the world. We track the ensemble into the virtual world so you can follow the concert virtually in the Museum of Other Realities or streamed from Virtual Reality on YouTube.

In “Tessellatum” by Donnacha Dennehy man and nature meet musically and visually. Composed in 2015 for viola da gamba and four strings, the piece works with natural tone series and man-made harmonies. This interaction creates a variety of sounds ranging from medieval tones to minimal music.

On the viola da gamba, Liam Byrne not only explores early music originally written for this instrument, but also collaborates with numerous contemporary composers. His focus is on the rediscovery of unknown baroque music as well as world premieres and performances of experimental new music. At VRHAM! he performs together with Johanna Ruppert (violin), Friedemann Slenczka (viola), Simone Drescher (cello), und Kristina Edin (double bass).

In cooperation with the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival.
