DEEP TALK N.1: PARCOUR – Work the Engine
Peggy Schoenegge moderates the artist talk with Barbara Herold and Kim Twiddle as part of the solo show and premier of the VR experience PARCOUR at Rosa Stern Space in Munich, running from May 25 to June 22, 2022.
In her work, Barbara Herold explores playful systems in the threshold space of the physical and the digital. In collaboration with e-composer Kim Twiddle, Barbara Herold developed the colour-form-music composer PARCOUR, a VR experiment on Neues Sehen (according to W. Benjamin). Through optical abstraction, stereoscopic overlays and interactive sound modulation, retro video game landscapes become an aesthetic sensual and new consciousness experience.

REAL-IN CONVENTION
Immersive Technologies in Interactive Arts
Fri, June 11, 2021 , 10-3.30 pm CEST
The conference aims to bring together artists, producers, cultural institutions, policy makers, industry experts and researchers to explore the potentials of 3D-scanning and volumetric capture technologies for interactive and digital arts. With XR technologies becoming increasingly more accessible, how can creatives seize the opportunity to produce courageous and inventive artistic content? How can technological tools and immersive storytelling be used to develop innovative participatory and social audience experiences? And how to create an immediate and lasting ecosystem that inspires new ideas and drives creative advancement?
peer to space’s curator Peggy Schoenegge will hold a keynote on Performing Arts in XR at Golem-Labor Conference.
In the online conference, artists and XR experts will share their experiences, artistic projects and open dialogue on the intersection of art and immersive technologies. They will address questions on the intersection of the (performing) arts and (XR) technologies. How does the interaction of performing arts and technology impact the audience? How can the body and its physicality be experienced in VR? What are the limitations when working with Motion Capture technologies or Volumetric recording? And can the technology be more than just a tool?
The online conference is organized by gamelab.berlin and Goethe-Institut Prag.

The virtual space allows artists to work surrounded by a blank space where physical laws do not apply. In her talk, Berlin-based curator Tina Sauerlaender introduces the history of immersion, the development of the medium of virtual reality and its application in the field of visuals arts. She will speak about her experience as an international VR art curator, introduce her projects and Radiance VR, an international platform for artistic VR experiences that she co-founded.

In the digital age, the digital is no longer only digital. Digital aesthetics entered real space long ago, and new technologies such as Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality are producing new art forms. Curating takes place on and offline, in exhibition spaces, websites or on social media. Art is now even sold over Instagram. Museums use digital tools to promote their exhibitions. Art and life are now increasingly intertwined outside of the museum and the White Cube.
The evening’s speakers will introduce their various subject areas and thereby will sketch an exciting picture of the post-digital art scene in Berlin. The talks will be given in English or German.

Antje Akkermann, Curator of Media, Ethnological Museum and Museum of Asian Art in the Humboldt Forum

More information about the event.
More information about the previous PECHA KUCHA ART NIGHTS.
Technobodies is curated by Yvonne Zindel, who explores the possibilities of the digital in art and design, cultural hacks, and digital forms of mediation in a research-based and artistic way. Since 2014 she has regularly been negotiating topics such as AI and hacking in her series Performing Encounters. The series addresses scenarios for the exchange and genesis of ideas at the interface of art and science, in the intimate yet public setting of the Grüner Salon. The interplay between data and our bodies will be explored. In doing so, the imaginary contradiction between analog and digital is reflected upon critically, and the informal exchange from the digital hub will be brought back to the analog salon—and vice versa.
Peggy Schoenegge will be part of the panel DISKURS #2: DIGITAL*ANALOG at this year’s Hauptsache Frei – Festival of Performing Arts on April 7th, 2019. Together with Alexandra Wolf, Friedrich Kirschner and Susanne Schuster she will be talking about the interrelation between the digital and the analog and its influence on the perception of art.
