MIREVI Installationen
During the MODINA Showcase: Dancing in the Digital Age: Navigating Intersections of Dance, Digital Innovation, and Audience Engagement, the two installations Oneironautica II and Proxemics: May I embrace? by MIREVI (https://mirevi.de/) will be shown as part of the MODINA seminar.
| Sat 12.10. 18:00 – 19:00 | Deep Dive – Q&A on MIREVI installations |
An interactive session with the creators of Oneironautica II and Proxemics, where they discuss their creative vision, technological integration, and behind-the-scenes insights. The technologies that will be discussed in greater detail in the context of these works include 3D scanning and motion capturing. The audience will also be able to engage in discussion on the conceptual aspects of the pieces and share feedback about their experience.
Laurenz Ulrich x MIREVI x Charlotte Triebus: Oneironautica II
The immersive VR installation takes visitors on a digital trip into mysteriously dissolving spaces, modelled on the auditorium of the Theater an der Ruhr. Like in a lucid dream, one moves through a point cloud of the building, encounters ghostly figures on the stage, hears voices from past performances and becomes aware of the fleeting nature of sensory experiences. The dance piece developed for the work deals with logic and control, with distorted and distorting lucid dreams and toxic-transformative dependencies. The background narration features excerpts from the play "Vom Licht" by Anselm Neft.
Idea & Conception: Laurenz Ulrich x MIREVI; 3D-Development: Laurenz Ulrich x MIREVI; Sound Design: Laurenz Ulrich; Choreography: Charlotte Triebus; Dance: Gustavo Gomez, Charlotte Triebus; Voices: Dagmar Geppert, Steffen Reuber.
MIREVI: Proxemics: May I embrace?
The installation "Proxemics: May I Embrace?" invites visitors to interact, approach, and even touch one another, regardless of whether they are initially strangers. Each participant controls an avatar on a large screen through their own body movements, allowing them to connect with other avatars. As the avatars draw closer, new sounds, visual effects, and structures are generated, symbolizing the emerging sense of closeness, connection, and mutual attentiveness.
Idea & Conception: Chris Geiger; 3D-Development: Patrick Nass; Sound Design: Jeff Birkhoff; Consulting: Mitja Säger, Ivana Družetić-Vogel; Design Support / Video Doc: Jenny Schuler, Leon Lösch.
