The digital Square- The art of impact
Project summary
A democratic conversation in artistic form on a digital square. Does immersive storytelling have potential in the public space? The dramaturgy in the experiments is non-linear and is based on theatre traditions as well as acting and documentary narrative traditions. We started up the relation to the audience in Skärholmen,Stockholm with our newly produced Virtual Reality story" The Blue Blue" &together with two actors we walk between the two rooms,seamless with no discrepanzy between the different medias and together with the audience we solve a problem. We have test groups and workshops together with our audience -from 12 years.Your look at you and yours. My look at me and mine. And so we meet.
Phase 2 of the research will connect young people , in Skärholmen and Soweto where images via projection mapping take place on the facades.The methods is once again from the 2000 year old theatre tradition combined with documentary storytelling and the most modern immersive and digital tools.
