Timetable 4.6.2022 – baroXmedia 10 am – 6 pm · 10 am opening · 1 pm / 3 pm / 5 pm performative intervention by [XR]noe | human nature (20 min)

Multimedia exhibition: Continuing the cooperation between the International Baroque Days at Melk Abbey and St. Pölten UAS, the Master Class Experimental Media (Digital Design) activates the garden pavilion in the abbey park with virtual and augmented reality elements – digital comments and interpretations on the imaginative ambiguity of baroque art.

Performance: The extended reality project [XR]noe | human nature sets out to integrate dance, body and performance, combined with current XR technologies, virtually and augmented into selected real places in Lower Austria. For these sites, 3D sculptures and dance choreographies on the theme of “human nature” are developed and, through programming, made accessible on XR-capable devices (mobile phones) as virtual artefacts and performances. At baroXmedia the project is presented in the baroque garden and the garden pavilion.

[XR]noe | human nature is based on a collaboration between the media artist and UAS professor Markus Wintersberger, the dancer and choreographer Andrea Nagl (Nagl ~ Wintersberger) and St. Pölten UAS, in cooperation with the artist collective TheSystemCollective – The Artificial Museum, the media artist and UAS lecturer Jascha Süss and the media artist Catherine Spet. @ex.media_fhstp
