at the height of the corona crisis, the exhibition aimed to question how physical and virtual communication can coexist within a cultural venue through an extended reality interface. the abstract projections within the physical space were continuously reacting to the movement of people of the virtual platform through a realtime data link. simultenously, visitors of the physical space were able to interact with digital avatars through a series of VR interfaces hidden inside the exhibition.

the exhibition consists of a continuous striated landscape that seamlessly spans from a virtual exhibition platform easily accessible from any web browser, where visitors can communicate and interact while meandering among the works on display, to its physical counterpart in the main exhibition space at the Angewandte. Visitors from virtual exhibition space can interact through their digital movements with the projections in the phyical space, blurring the lines between the two.

The virtual show forms a cluster of immersive structured landscapes. As the participants move through the digital halls, the overlapping of different traces intuitively leads them further into the mist of space.  Collaborating with American musician WMD, a carefully curated sonic trail accompanies the viewer through space, framing a synaesthetic composition where sound becomes palpable while the visual stays shifting as part of a continuously synchronised choreography.

As the virtual experience becomes an exploration of sensory stimulation in the sphere of complete immateriality, the physical exhibition at the institute hosts the physical models and works of the departments and broadcasts the virtual show on screens, offering a seamless experience between the digital and the physical environment. The exhibition design is characterised by a dense structural network that continuously morphs in proportion and density to ultimately reveal a variety of cultural venues at its core.
