IMMERSIVE LISTENING SESSION AND ARTIST TALK

Get exclusive insight into Silvana Imam and Paula Strunden’s artistic universe, practice and collaboration. They will specifically talk about the artistic concept behind “Återfödelsen / Rebirth” – an Extended Reality (XR) work which is a result of the EU-funded research project (XTREME), commissioned by MUNCH and presented as a work in progress earlier this year.

The two artists describe their work as an «espresso shot of life», structured in three Acts: Birth, Love and Death. The evening is a conversation and a listening session rather than a presentation of the XR work itself: an invitation into the making of an immersive piece, through its sound, its images and the thinking behind it.

They will share perspectives and reflections on making a multimedia work, which combines virtual world-building, interactive sound, and physical and sensory elements. You will be invited to listen to the sound universe, which was created in collaboration with Marijn Cinjee (4DSOUND) and Nisj for XTREME.
