For a long time, art could only be viewed as a spectator. Today, however, virtual and augmented reality make it possible to step inside a work of art. In a three-dimensional space, visitors are not only surrounded by the artwork—they quite literally become part of it. This immersion is made possible by immersivity: the ability of an artificial environment or technology to create an intense sense of presence.

With her project Moving Sound Pictures, multimedia artist and VR developer Konstantina Orlandatou has been exploring new paths in digital art education since 2018. Thus, she began developing her vision of expanding museums and cultural institutions through VR technologies already during the first funding period of the German federal-state initiative “Innovative Hochschule” (Innovative University), connecting analog and digital forms of art perception and making exhibitions interactive for people of all ages.  

At the ligeti center, which has been realized as part of the second funding period of the “Innovative Hochschule”, Konstantina Orlandatou continues to pursue her vision. Through playful interactions with artworks in virtual realms, she merges general curiosity with new forms of artistic expression, historical contexts, and the technical aspects of painting.
