2022 (completed project)

The professorship of Production Systems and Processes is planning to connect different former and current European Capitals of culture via interactive, virtual portals. Together with students of the University of Fine Arts Essen of the course game art & design and the interactive design studio A.MUSE, portals were designed, consisting of a depth camera and a monitor, that allow to capture the movement of the user in front of the portal and to show an anonymized representation on the connected portal. This gesture-based communication is to be used in a playful way in a cultural experiment to build bridges between former and current Capitals of culture or twin cities of Chemnitz. A first prototype was set up at the „Pochen Biennale 2022“ and received a lot of positive feedback. As part of the Capital of culture programme, the portal is planned to be set up in public space for long-term use in 2025.
