#1553: The Story of Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig, and the Multi-Channel Video Translation of “Origins – Life 3t6w5g

There was an projection-based immersive experience called ORIGINS - LIFE'S EPIC JOURNEY that was originally formatted for a digital art museum in called Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig, but it was translated into a three-channel video installation that was showing in a small conference room at SXSW. I only saw the video version at SXSW, and so I have not experienced the piece within its originally-intended, fully-immersive context. But it's collaboration between digital artists Markos Kay, Martin Salfity, Thomas Vanz, Davy Evans, Gokhan Tekin, Susi Sie, Teun van der Zalm and Roman Hill to tell the story of the evolution of life from the smallest quantum to biological to galactic scales, each using different visual techniques to create these 25 different chapters. I had a chance to chat with Paolo Loeffler to get a bit more context on the evolution of Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig, and how ORIGINS was developed and commissioned to play in these projection-based immersive exhibition spaces.
