Together with artists Naoto Hieda and Jorge Guevara, the visitors can participate in the web screening #BestPracticesInContemporaryDance. Starting with the first lockdown, Naoto Hieda (Cologne) and Jorge Guevara (Brussels) have been meeting online in weekly intervals. While they do, they stream, distort, and change the videos from their webcams with the help of commercial as well as open-source software, merging their bodies in pixel space.

VR Installation by Giorgi Gedevadinize, Phaidon Gialis und Seongmin Yuk

“Who can see what I see in this moment here and now?” In the VR installation Connected Realities, a visitor group constructs a tower from coloured cardboard boxes. The difficulty: They all wear VR goggles that project the situation from another visitor’s perspective. Through the self-constructed VR goggles, a proprietary development, A sees what B sees and B sees what C sees and C sees what A sees.
