Artificial Paradise? Immersion in Space and Time
In autumn 2018, the K眉nstlerhaus, Halle f眉r Kunst & Medien will address the immersion in artificial worlds. Considering past, as well as present approaches, 鈥淎rtificial Paradise? Immersion in Space and Time鈥� will bring together recent immersive works by twelve international artists with works newly commissioned for the exhibition.
The immersion in an image, in its sphere of imagination, is a concern that can be traced far back in art history. Currently, it is mainly the latest technologies of virtual reality that provide access to alternative realities. However, which aspects are crucial for young artists today, in order to deal with immersion? How are these recently created artificial worlds constructed? What were the artistic approaches of the recent past to break down the borders between factual reality and virtual space?
The exhibition focuses particularly on the threshold of submersion into artificially created worlds. Whereas the older genre of landscape painting predominantly offered the imaginary participation in an illusionistic, idealistic nature, the new virtual reality works aim at a鈳痯referably鈳痗omplete absorption of the viewer. The submersion into artificial surroundings can be accomplished literally by way of spatial installations and environments with sounds. Furthermore, the artistic discussion of the relationship between digital and analogue aspects, as well as the immersive use of media for military and political strategies will be the subject of the exhibition.
