Symbiosis is a multi-sensory and performative VR installation, inspired by the work of the American biologist/ philosopher Donna Haraway. The human body is being redesigned with VR, soft robotics and other technologies. The experience takes place in a future in a world that has been radically changed by climate change. In the VR installation, you can experience what it is like to leave your human perspective for a while and live together as a genetically manipulated human or animal, plant or AI and see the world from a completely different perspective.

Due to the Corona regulations, we can only allow a maximum of 6 people per shift, min. 2 people can experience the VR-experience for themselves.
