#fuckreality
Positions on immersive art
Positions on immersive art @ The World Festival of Animated Film - Animafest Zagreb 2019
The exhibition #fuckreality presents artistic strategies that challenge the promises of virtual and augmented
reality. The featured artistic practices employ the related technologies in ways contrary to their intended purposes
and reveal new aesthetic fields,
thereby reflecting changes in our understanding of reality, corporeality, and the experience
of space.
The works shown at Gallery Šira and Tunnel Grič within Animest Zagreb 2019 explore
the interfaces between the real and virtual realm and use various media formats to expand perception into a multimodal and
sensomotoric experience. Augmented and mixed reality environments, works on head-mounted VR displays and videos allow visitors
to delve into digitally generated spaces, which confront them with different aspects of presence and immersion. The participating
artists are teachers, graduates, and students from the Department of Digital Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
