EV 02 Virtual Reality meets Full Dome

The idea of immersion in virtual space has spread like wildfire with the ascendency of post- and transhumanism. The dissolution of boundaries in settings that actively seek to forego any reference to an outside world puts our understanding of what is real and what is not to the test. Once we no longer perceive this boundary, a shift occurs in our potential for acquiring insight. This year's VR programme traces this path and features spatial conceptualism, collisions and balancing acts between the worlds of gaming and film.

Due to high demand, we decided to offer the virtual reality program of 2021 again this year.
