With the accelerated use of digital technologies in daily life, we often see ourselves as increasingly glued to our screens, encapsulated by the information in front us while we may disconnect from our “real” physical sphere. How may we, however, use digital information in the form of sound or visuals to break through this gap? To project information into a space in order to create a certain mood, or even reinvigorate an unused space?

The workshop Your Virtual Background - Projected will discuss ideas and techniques concerning how our digital interactions may expand outside of the screen. The workshop will consist of four online courses supplemented with individual consultations, all leading to the production of our own “virtual backgrounds” in which participants may experiment with projecting a certain mood, feeling, or story through a video chat.
