Touching Clouds

In Touching Clouds, Norbert Pape and Simon Speiser create a choreographic ritual in extended reality, which is activated by visitors. Floating point clouds of various forms can be touched, nudged, or guided by one's hands, with these gestures sometimes leaving imprints on the object's surfaces. The artist duo set out to conceive a work in which embodied immersion brings an awareness of our sensory interdependence across visible and invisible worlds. Participants see each other and the exhibition surroundings through the XR headset while simultaneously moving through a virtual reality layer.
