HfK – Virtual Spaces
As part of the project ‘We Dig It! - Innovative teaching, learning, concert and exhibition spaces for art and music’, the virtual platform HfK - Virtual Spaces is being created at the University of the Arts Bremen as an experimental space and for testing digital and virtual exhibition and concert formats for both teachers and students.
The platform is based on (Mozilla) Hubs. The virtual spaces are largely created with the opensource software Blender and extended by the possibilities of the Hubs add-on. BlenderDiplom also develops additional interaction options using the Behaviour Graph, which can be particularly exciting for artistic work.
The screenshot shows the virtual exhibition space for electro-acoustic composition and sound art. A new experimental concept for the presentation of audio files in virtual spaces was developed as an alternative to traditional media libraries. Student sound works and 360° performance videos are presented here.
Further exhibition spaces have already been created. In addition, the competition ‘Performing in HfK - Virtual Spaces’ is currently running with keynote speeches by CyberRäuber, Lundahl & Seitl, Digitaltheater Augsburg and Ulrich Schrauth.
The project will continue until the end of 2025 and will be constantly developed further.
