Using the “UnStumm Augmented Voyage” app, as well as AR Glasses and headphones, the project Transatlantic Movements develops the completely new format of a telematic mixed reality performance in real time—between the USA and Germany. It brings together six artists from the disciplines of dance, media art and music. The audio and video streams produced by the artists, by the means of video art, music and movement, will be projected with the UnStumm—Augmented Voyage AR app.
The audience in Berlin will join the artists from Germany (Schmitz, Hein, Colusi) at bUm (Berlin), while the artists from the USA (Masaoka, Collwes, Alpert) will perform with them in a telematic fashion. The whole performance can only be perceived as an augmented reality experience, using the “UnStumm Augmented Voyage” app, a pair of VR Smartphone glasses and headphones (provided by UnStumm).
Please bring your own smartphone/tablet and headphones! Organized and directed by Claudia Schmitz and Nicola L. Hein. Software development / ar stage design - Sven Hahne, Claudia Schmitz, Nicola L. Hein. More information here. Video impression of a comparpable production here.
