DOK Neuland
Since 2015, DOK Neuland has provided an exhibition platform for Extended Reality and Expanded Filmmaking works. Each year we invite our audience to discover around 10 international pieces across different formats in a public exhibition.
Emerging technological tools offer new modes of expression and storytelling. Exhibition formats include virtual reality experiences and 360° films, augmented reality works, games and interactive installations, all with bold narratives that tap into the exciting potential that unfolds when art and technology collide. By tapping into the possibilities presented by new media, selected artists break with familiar storylines, expand the boundaries of our reality and, together with visitors, explore the interaction between humans and machines to create new realms of experience.
We look forward to discovering your XR and Expanding Filmmaking works for DOK Neuland, taking place during DOK Leipzig from 26 October to 1 November 2026.
What Are We Looking for?
XR and Expanded Filmmaking works that question conventional narrative forms and employ new audio-visual techniques in support of compelling stories and experiences – be it through virtual reality, mixed reality or augmented reality experiences, 360° films, performances, media or web-based art, sound installations, projection mapping or looped films, participatory films, games or hybrid performances. Or you surprise us with new XR formats we may not even be aware of yet!
Do you have an idea for a special project such as a site-specific XR installation or hybrid performance for a stage? Send it over. We are very happy to work together with artists to facilitate their vision and showcase new ways of working outside the traditional frame.
