IMPAKT Workshop: Face and body filters
Yun Lee and Jonathan Reus, from iii, instrumentinventors.org, The Hague (NL)

This second workshop is about VJ-ing and focuses on the creation of video backgrounds and other video effects to use in your performance. With the use of software like Zoom, OBS and Snap Camera, we can create our own virtual backgrounds, digital masks, video compilations and even perform live coding and VJ sets. IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture], in collaboration with Ars Electronica and the European Media Art Platform (EMAP), organizes two workshops where you can familiarize yourself with these new tools and platforms and start using them to build your own online performance sets.

You are all invited to wear your most crazy digital or real masks and party with us. Because of the pandemic, we now live, meet, work, celebrate and breathe online, and the ZOOM virtual background and Snap Camera mask options have become the new way to give flavor to our digital existence.

You and I, You and Me
Mindaugas Gapsevicius (LT/DE)

Imagine the future. Humans, computing machines, and various types of hybrids share the space they live in. Senses are altered, some are inextricably linked to computing devices. Electricity is used to control the space and the beings living in it.

Plant trafficking workshop
Brigita Kasperaitė (LT/DE)

The workshop "Plant trafficking" re-thinks the monetary value of nature and its place in our daily lives. The journey that plants take until they settle in one's home makes us see them as trophies.
