Das HOUSE 2.0 - in Keplers Gardens

Das HOUSE von minuseins ist eine Einladung in eine so atmosphärische wie rätselhafte Zwischenwelt. Das Projekt beginnt mit einem begehbaren Teaser und öffentlichen Testlauf, später soll das Projekt als theatrale VR-Serie fortgeführt werden. Der Kern des Projekts ist dabei immer die Fragestellung: Wie geht Gemeinschaft online? Wie funktioniert digitale Kopräsenz? Was verschwindet dabei?

Harmony

Project Home

Team Members: Esma Bosnjakovic, Max Haarich, Barbora Horská, Nicole Schanzmeier

Project Home will diese fast schon utopische Erzählung neu definieren, indem es persönliche Geschichten von Menschen sammelt und teilt, die aus freien Stücken oder aus anderen Gründen mit dem traditionellen Konzept der Heimat kämpften. Dadurch hoffen wir, andere zu inspirieren, einige der einschränkenden Überzeugungen in Frage zu stellen und ihren eigenen einzigartigen Weg „nach Hause“ zu erkennen.

[Un]seen Sacred Spaces

Team Members: Asma Aiad, Parisa Ayati, Rebecca Merlic, Ines Mahmoud, Mateja Rot

Anhand von drei Sakralräumen in Österreich wollen wir ein Beispiel für verschiedene Gemeinschaften setzen und deren Anliegen sichtbar machen. Viele Gebäude, sehen von aussen lediglich wie ein normales Haus aus. Trotz ihrer Unsichtbarkeit sind sie Teil der Stadt. Ihre (Un-)Sichtbarkeit sagt viel über die soziale Integration in unserer Gesellschaft aus.

VirtualPolitik

Neo Christopher Chung

The world is at a critical junction where polarizing forces are working hard to keep us divided and troubled. We are witnessing the rise of exclusionary laws and policies, fueled by the dark side of the Internet and algorithms. Across Europe and beyond, the challenges of civil unrest and human rights are negatively affecting marginalized populations and creating intractable divisions. How can we use public platforms and new media to create inclusive outlooks and to create new political spheres?
