VENOMENON

To date, the stereoscopic video VENOMENON has been presented in a range of different set-ups. To convey the story in the best possible way according to the set-up possibilities, several new edits of image and audio have been completed.

1.) VENOMENON [The Prospect]
The single channel edit combines all possible versions of the story and is therefore very close to the open interpretation of the Greek myth.

2.) VENOMENON [The Choice]
The project was originally conceived for a 2-channel S3D installation with 2 opposing screens (ideally 4x3m each and 8 metre distance in between) and surround-speakers. In this set up, the viewer is encouraged to choose between the slightly different versions of the film.

VENOMENON [The Journey]
Panoramic screen such as the 15 metre long LED display, MAN Media Art Nexus or a cylindrical panoramic environment such as the WOW! Room Madrid or PanroamaLab at ZKM Karlsruhe.

VENOMENON [The Search]
The panoramic version features the endless search and approach to escape in the labyrinth which leads to the underworld. The 360° stereoscopic movie is optimised for panoramic environments and also accessible with VR devices such as Oculus Rift or equivalent portable VR device.

A version for auto-stereoscopic displays and lenticular prints is currently in development. The additional layer provides insight into the emotions and vital data of the protagonists.
