The Stuttgart Museum of Art invites you to an extraordinary experience over the next few days. The audience can immerse themselves in the paintings. Virtual reality makes that possible – and even for free.
Stuttgart – it is, so to speak, an experience of the third kind, an unusual project is currently stopping at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart – “Artiality”, a virtual reality experience through which the audience can almost enter the paintings. Equipped with virtual reality goggles, users walk into an empty room and experience a ten-minute foray through abstract and representational art. So you walk by the trees next to Piet Mondrian or bridge-like shapes grow out of the ground, which comes from a Paul Klee painting. Then again, geometric objects are flying through the air. Other visitors are seen as characters from Oskar Schlemmer’s Ballet Trio.
“Artiality” migrates from Stuttgart to Europa-Park
“We’d love to give it a try,” director Ulrike Groos said of “Artiality,” which will stay at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart until July 11 and can be visited for free. “Artiality” is funded by MFG Baden-Württemberg and developed by VR Coaster, a leading virtual reality experience company, and by MackNeXT, the innovation division of the Mack Group, which operates Europa-Park Rust. “Artiality” will be on permanent display there after the premiere at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.
In the future, the public must also be able to be creative
“We want to show you what you can do with technology and create a new artistic experience,” said Sven Meyer, Artiality’s chief creative officer. With the help of virtual reality, it is also possible to “bring artworks to new dimensions” and create art spaces that did not exist before. A journey through 3D art accompanied by music. In the long run, it should also be possible to touch objects in the virtual space or to intervene creatively.
