Since 2015, DOK Neuland has provided an exhibition platform for the art of interactive and immersive works. Each year during the festival week we invite our audience to discover around 12 international pieces here. This experience is made possible by technologically advanced new media such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality or 360° films. These bold narratives tap into the revolutionary potential that unfolds when art and technology collide. By taking advantage of the possibilities presented by new media, selected artists break with familiar story lines, expand the boundaries of our reality and, together with visitors, explore the interaction between humans and machines to create new realms of experience.

In close cooperation with the artists we design a room installation that provides both an ample space for each individual work and an experience in and of itself. Each exhibition dares to look into the future and asks how our conventions and habits might change. We also ponder the questions of which conditions are best for experiencing new media and which spaces can do justice to these innovative works.

The call for interactive works for the 2020 DOK Neuland exhibition is closed. If you have any questions, please contact our Interactive Coordinator and Curator Lars Rummel at interactive [at] dok-leipzig [dot] de. 

Within the frame of our DOK Industry Programme we are once again presenting an Interactive Conference Day during the festival week. This community-building event focuses on learning from each other and exploring the most current forms of XR storytelling. We aim to gain greater perspective on the huge and endless potential of new technology and explore its challenges.

DOK Interactive is an XR Conference for makers, thinkers, artists, interdisciplinary lovers and interested individuals from all kinds of professional backgrounds.
