sound:frame & Pausanio virtual – Area for Virtual Art

This year, sound:frame expands into the virtual realm with a new platform for virtual art and discourse: the Area for Virtual Art. Together with Pausanio, the Cologne-based agency for digital cultural communication, we are pursuing the vision of creating a virtual place for digital art and culture where people from all over the world can meet.
The Area for Virtual Art will host exhibitions, discourse formats and social events and present current digital artistic approaches, such as XR, interactive or AI based (art)works. We see the internet in its hyperlinked nature as the perfect exhibition and communication environment.
Amidst the chaos of cyberspace we’re creating a setting for people to show and see art, gain new insights, critically reflect and create connections. Our very area within the Metaverse gives our community the opportunity to discuss their experiences in personal conversations and to enlarge their international network at virtual live events.

As part of the Ars Electronica 2020, we give a first insight into the Area for Virtual Art and invite the audience for an exclusive „site inspection“, including an exhibition tour to hear more from the artists and a virtual cocktail party to meet others.
