VIRTUAL REALITY AND ART

Anläßlich des Luxemburg City Film Festival, wovon Casino Luxembourg das Hauptquartier ist - 22.02. - 4.03.2018 - wird ein besonderes Programm um das Thema des Filmes angeboten, das Künstler, Regisseure sowie lokale und ausländische Persönlichkeiten der kinematographischen Umgebung einbinden wird.

Das Künstlerduo Karolina Markiewicz und Pascal Piron, selbst Filmregiesseure, bieten drei Ereignisse an, die befragen wie  Künstler mit dem Medium « Film » arbeiten.

Virtual Reality is the new cool tool in town, challenging new forms of narration and experience. Every work can be seen as pioneering, as its codes and rules have yet to be rewritten - a unique opportunity for artists and filmmakers alike. How will VR bring new forms of expression to visual artists and what are some unique works in the field?

The public will explore the new world of Virtual Reality and discover where the journey may take them...
