Virtual reality experiences often aim to replicate physical spaces, striving to create a sense of realism that can, however, sometimes feel deceptive and unauthentic. Abstract designs, on the other hand, are easily identifiable as virtual and can therefore be appreciated for their inherent qualities. This workshop will introduce you to the art of envisioning VR native environments that transcend physical representation. After an introduction via Zoom, participants will be able to join a tour through VRChat worlds, that propose alternative design elements. After the tour, the workshop members will collaborate to define new design archetypes of virtual architecture.
Preferred: Meta Quest 2 or 3 Headset + VRChat App installed + VRChat Account
Alternative: VRChat via PC + VRChat Account

The immersive cultural laboratory project 20 //TWENTY can be experienced publicly in a virtual municipal swimming pool that was multiplied ten times. Twenty interdisciplinary artist duos from 8 nations have been given one of 10 empty pools and a backend with interactive design tools for 2D, 3D objects, multimedia forms of expression in sound and video, room and light design options, object movement effects up to water and fog to explore new ways for their art in the virtual sphere. The artists regularly leave status and process reports on a digital white board to make the process tangible for the visitor. 20 // TWENTY is a project which explores art and and the process of collaborative artmaking in digital-virtual spaces and critically examines them. The project is accompanied by a interdisciplinary board with Dr. Thea Lautenschläger (head of the Botanical Garden Hamburg), Prof. Dr. Stefan Altmeyer (Cologne University of Applied Sciences), and the Belgian curator and galerist Benjamin Fleig.The project is funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg.

The digitized world has fundamentally transformed the relationship between brands and people. The audience no longer views themselves solely as consumers; they desire to actively participate and co-create. In essence, they aspire to immerse themselves in the world of brands and become integral parts of it.
What role do narratives play in altering attitudes and behavior? How should a brand’s story be presented to allow customers to perceive themselves as protagonists in this tale? What are the foundational elements of immersive brand worlds? Thus workshop not only imparts essential knowledge but also offers practical guidance for marketing implementation.

History repeating: as with Web 1.0, the Metaverse and Web 3.0 raise similar questions for brands: How do we want to be part of the new, spatial, and walkable internet? What do we want our representation in this new sphere to look like? What added value do we want to create for our audiences? Should we be first movers or is it better to wait, and see? What if it’s just hype? In this session, we will talk to two proven experts, and we are eager to hear their answers to these questions.

When Facebook evolved into Meta, the Metaverse became the talk of the town. Yet, its true nature remains enigmatic. Is it a space limited to cumbersome headsets? A fantastical gaming universe for the youth? Or possibly the future real estate boom? In this era of AI and ChatGPT, does the Metaverse even matter?
Join us in this presentation as we uncover the essence of the Metaverse and delve into the two key trends that continue to shape its trajectory, long after the initial hype has subsided.

Immersive technologies open up completely new possibilities for companies to organize and structure their work processes. Just think of virtual assessments or onboardings in the digital twin of your headquarter. Even training methods in highly complex laboratory environments become easier, safer and therefore more efficient by moving them into simulated environments. In this session, you will learn about concrete applications and practical examples.

Vladimir Alexeev
AI adviser, Artist, Digital Experience Specialist at DB Schenker
Vladimir Alexeev, also known as Merzmensch, represents what can happen when a humanities and cultural scientist is exposed to artificial intelligence in an uncontrolled manner. Instead of increasing efficiency through machine learning and generating value for stakeholders with predictive analytics, he suddenly begins to freak out. He lets AI write poems in the style of Kurt Schwitters and performs them by AI-generated jazz musicians. He uses AI to create previously non-existent people, art movements and dream sequences. He makes short films made entirely by AI (script, video, music and actors). Combining artificial intelligence and creativity is Merzmensch’s goal and interest.
