SHARESPACE: New Work for the Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 (Austria)
For the real-world art scenario, SHARESPACE is looking for a media artist (group) to collaborate with. The goal of the collaboration is for the artist to realise their own art work for the Deep Space 8K, located at the Ars Electronica Center, utilising SHARESPACE technology. The work will be presented in September 2025 at the Ars Electronica Festival.
This space enables immersive XR environments through 3D stereoscopic floor and wall projections (16m x 9m). Artists are invited to create a multi-user, hybrid, interactive art performance that leverages embodied interaction between people and different types of Virtual Humans.
The artwork should focus on the integration of SHARESPACE concepts and the concept should utilise the dimension of remote participation from one or multiple people that can be either performers, artists, or audience. The remote participants are then represented by avatars in the digital space in Deep Space 8K. Applicants are encouraged to think about the remote participation from different localities, cities, countries, outside locations, etc.
For the development of the artwork, the artist will receive 15,000 EUR.
