Danteum

Giusy Caruso and Isjtar Vandebroek collaborate on the Danteum project, an XR performance that blends contemporary and classical music with virtual architecture in VR.
Playing piano in VR poses several problems, as does moving around in a structure, larger than the VR area. Giusy and Isjtar explored several artistic and technical solutions, layering tactile and mixed reality elements over the VR environment and using movement of the public and performer to dynamically reconstruct the space.

The workshop took place at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
