#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.
