Yannick Harter

Fragments of a Hologram Rose, 2017

VR experience for HTC Vive

Fragments of a Hologram Rose (2017) is Yannick Harter´s first VR work. It is concerned with the human conception of reality. Two parts -a virtual and an installative part- generate an interdependence of both tangible and imaginary realms. The viewer becomes the persona of a hyperreal environment which questions spatial and temporal boundaries. The title cites William Gibson's VR-Shortstory from 1977.

 

This work was developed as part of the THIS IS FAKE exhibition at Schacht Dölitz (former underground mine for brown coal) in Leipzig in 2017. Four site specific VR experiences were displayed in the loading bay of a shut down coal mine which is now being transformed into a place for art and cultural projects by its owners.
