Digital Art, Installation & Performance
The performative media installation »Die Kommenden Träume« shows video portraits of 63 children. In the videos they find themselves in imagined virtual worlds. On the real stage, adult performers take up the children’s dreams in their movements. In the videos, the young protagonists create choreographies for a future in which digital economies such as mixed, augmented and virtual reality have become a natural part of our everyday lives. The arrangement of the videos is determined by a self-learning code that searches the film material for similarities in costumes, faces and movements. The result is a technical narrative similar to that which digital surveillance technologies and social media already produce of us all.
