* For members of cultural institutions and teachers *

How to use Virtual Reality in your cultural institution? How to use VR in the classroom? And how to create your own VR pieces? Get started with VR in our workshop.

What you will learn

• How to tell stories using Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality

• Which costs to expect

• How much time is needed for the production

• Which skills are required and which experts need to be involved

• You will also get the chance to develop a rough proposal for your own project at your school or institution

The workshop will be held by expert in this field Mika Johnson. He has been on world tour, presenting his VR-piece VRwandlung that he created together with the Goethe-Institut. In VRwandlung the first act of Franz Kafka's literary masterpiece "The Metamorphosis" was adapted by using VR. In the workshop, Mr. Johnson will talk about his experience. As part of the workshop, you can also experience the VR installation VRwandlung yourself

The workshop is aimed at members of cultural institutions, teachers and students.

Programme:

1. Reaching a new audience and reaching your audience better: How VR can be used and is already used in cultural institutions and in the classroom

2. Creating an experience and making an exhibition: ritualized context versus standalone VR headset
