How do we communicate in virtual reality?

Virtual reality is a tool of the future. How will it change the way we communicate? We’re at ease with sending instant messages and viewing factual content in real time, but how can we convey emotions and sensations to the other side of the world? The new virtual work of art, Common Domain, explores the fundamental questions of human interaction and reminds us that we can only change the world together.

Common Domain is open to visitors in the Almi Hall foyer Aug 20-28, 2020. Its worlds can be visited in conjunction with the interactive work Laila.

Free of charge

Common Domain by media artist Kalle Rasinkangas is an interactive installation that focuses on human collaboration. Contrary to much VR art, it is not a private experience but one shared and co-created by all the participants. The number of people and their movement within the space affects the inner world of the work of art.

 

Common Domain invites people to experience and influence how the work unravels on many different layers – just like an opera performance appears different to a soloist on the stage, from a seat in the front row, or the back of the highest balcony.

Experience two works of art

Common Domain is open to visitors in the Almi Hall foyer in August. Its worlds can be visited in conjunction with Laila, an interactive work by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Paula Vesala, Tuomas Norvio and Ekho Collective.
