Philipp Lammer- “EigenSkulptur”
The work “EigenSkulptur” investigates the aesthetic mechanisms of a cybernetic sculpture, which reconfigures itself and thereby changes not only its appearance but also the process of further reconfigurations.
Inspired by biological systems, identical tesselated parts inform the operating principle of the whole through their composition. With the help of an electromagnetic mechanism, each of these elements has the ability to rotate on two axes and thereby assume four different states. The sculpture is generated with modern DIY techniques.

Andreas Fraunberger- “Escape Velocity”
Escape Velocity is a VR experience that puts the audience into the minds of four refugees that were forced to leave their respective home countries. The audience gets to experience their very personal stories from the viewpoint of the main protagonist – filmed in stereoscopic 360 ° video and presented in VR.
Virtual Reality has often been called an empathy machine – and rightly so. We strongly believe VR is the perfect medium for what we are trying to achieve. VR headsets literally wrap the story all around you and let you see the world through someone else’s eyes – until you get fully absorbed and you forget they are someone else’s. You become them. And this moment is the perfect opportunity for storytellers to create maximum impact.
