ANTHROPIA er en filmisk Virtual Reality forestilling, hvor performance, installationskunst og VR mødes i en 60 minutters lang begivenhed.

I Copenhagen Contemporarys 400 m2 store hal bevæger publikum sig med trådløse VR-briller frit igennem installationen, der korrelerer 1:1 med udstillingsrummets fysiske scenografi. Værkets ceremonielle narrativ er inddelt i fem kapitler. Udstillingsgæsten sendes således på en rejse gennem fem forskellige kunstneres virtuelle verdener.

Handlingen udspiller sig på en minigolfbane, og vejen til ANTHROPIA begynder ved bane 1, men for hvert skridt gæsten tager ind i den syntetiske virkelighed, opløses det velkendte gradvist, og en ny virkelighed tager form.

ANTHROPIA er skrevet og instrueret af Johan Knattrup Jensen og produceret af Mads Damsbo. Kunstnerne bag videokapitlerne er Therese Willstedt (SE), Rikke Benborg (DK), Ali Abbasi (IR), Julian Juhlin (DK) og Johan Knattrup Jensen (DK).

ANTHROPIA præsenteres af studiet Makropol og udstilles af Copenhagen Contemporary.

PRAKTISK INFORMATION:

Værket er en særforestilling, som en del af udstillingen CC LAB Virtual Reality, og der skal derfor købes særskilt billet til denne kunstoplevelse, som kan købes på Billetto eller fysisk i Copenhagen Contemporarys reception.

Forestillingen forløber i nøje tilrettelagte tidsintervaller. Derfor er det meget vigtigt, gæsten melder sin ankomst i Copenhagen Contemporarys reception 5 minutter før det bookede mødetidspunktet. Hvis ikke dette overholdes, kan det ikke garanteres, at der er adgang til værket. Refundering af billetkøb og tidsbestilling er ikke muligt. Billet skal medbringes og fremvises ved ankomst.

OBS: For nogle kan VR fremkalde sanseforvirring og ubehag.

ANTHROPIA is a cinematic VR performance, in which video art, performance, installation art and VR meet in a 60-minute-long event. In CC’s 400 m2 hall visitors, wearing VR goggles, will wander freely through the installation, which correlates on a scale of 1:1 with the physical scenography of the exhibition space. The work’s ceremonial narrative is divided into five chapters, in which the visitors are sent on a voyage through the virtual worlds of five different artists.

The experience takes place on a miniature golf course, and the road to ANTHROPIA starts on Fairway 1. But with every step you take into the synthetic reality, all that was once familiar gradually dissolves, and a new reality takes shape.

ANTHROPIA is written and directed by Johan Knattrup Jensen and produced by Mads Damsbo. The artists responsible for the video chapters are Therese Willstedt (SE), Rikke Benborg (DK), Ali Abbasi (IR), Julian Juhlin (DK) and Johan Knattrup Jensen (DK).

ANTHROPIA is presented by art studio Makropol and exhibited at Copenhagen Contemporary.
