Virtual Content and Real Stages

Abstract: This presentation deals with the question of appropriate instruments to cross the borders between the real and virtual worlds within the context of performances. We will identify solutions in available strategies of content and technology, and for new instruments, which have yet to be developed. Opening both worlds for each other equals the creation of an imaginary space, which is made available for staging. The “stage in one’s head” as a research area. The theme has been in existence at the laboratory since the founding days of the Ars Electronica Futurelab. Special attention has been given to it since the start of a project series in 2000, which concentrates on (media) performances and culminated in the „Linzer Klangwolke“ with 100 000 spectators. The common feature of these projects is the concern to develop and continue the possibilities of expanding stage space.
