Perception is Reality at Frankfurter Kunstverein Explores How We Construct Reality
The exhibition 'Perception is Reality. On the Construction of Reality and Virtual Worlds' is currently on display at the Frankfurter Kunstverein in Frankfurt, running through January 7, 2018. Curated by Franziska Nori, it investigates how our perceptions shape reality and the effects of virtual aesthetics on our understanding. The showcase includes traditional pieces by Hans Op De Beeck and Tomas Demand, as well as digital works such as David OReilly's video game 'Everything' and Manuel Roßner's VR installation 'Wetware.' Nori points out the potential of immersive technologies to supplant analog experiences, influencing both professional and social interactions. Additionally, a room from the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office features virtual representations of crime scenes and forensic VR simulations.
