Installations, performances, and exhibitions present the medium of film in unfamiliar forms.

Skills Park opposite Kraftfeld
Outdoor installation
Body language is transferred into virtual reality in an inversion coupled with the real world. With the help of AI-supported performance capture, visitors can control and record various 3D avatars in real time while they are looking down at a virtual version of Lagerplatz via a monitor. In addition, they can change the avatar’s virtual surroundings.
The recordings gradually create an arbitrary, fast montage, which is projected at full height on the wall across from Kraftfeld at night. Thus, the avatars are looking down on their real creators just like the creators are looking down on the virtual Lagerplatz. Light and sound in the outdoor restaurant react to the avatar’s surroundings on the wall.
Pascal Pendl is a digital image technician who works in (digital) set design for film and advertising and as a video technician for events as well as non-commercial clubs and festivals. Devoted to video technology and art, he produces music videos and live visuals – 2D and 3D, live action and CGI, analogue and digital – for his own installations. He has always been committed to a do-it-yourself spirit, so for his projects, he often designs, builds, and programs all the technology, software, and everything in between himself. Pascal also creates videos, visuals, and stage equipment for his two bands, .N3<ØMΔ†Δ. and Butchers of Lassie. Since 2019, he has been running the hyper.space.studio, an experimental film studio in Winterthur, where he explores real-time rendering, especially virtual production.
