The Fulldome Program of the Digital Arts Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna presents experimental immersive works in collaboration with the University’s Science Visualization Lab, Trans-Media Academie Hellerau, and the transdisciplinary performance company, kondition pluriel. Future Room and Liminal Spaces (re-edited) reveal the artistic potential of the fulldome, as does the 360˚ screening of works by researchers, teachers, and students.
From abstract generative animations to politically relevant statements, the immersive experiences in the fulldome program of the Department of Digital Arts represent a diversity of artistic positions.
The Future Room is a participatory immersive installation for a 360˚ fulldome environment based on a speech recognition system. Audience members are wrapped in a cloud of information as they voice their choices from an array of subjects: Artificial Intelligence, Education, Energy, Finance, Genome Editing, Migration, Politics, Religion, and Work.
The re-edited version of Liminal Spaces is comprised of animations that treat the dome as an intermediary membrane between the inside and the outside. The 360˚ film screening section presents short films and animations, most of which were produced in collaboration with the Department of Digital Arts, University of Applied Arts Vienna. Works by Martin Reinhart/Virgil Widrich (AT), kondition pluriel (CA), and the Science Visualization Lab, University of Applied Arts Vienna (AT) will be shown, among others.
