at gallery ARTECONT Vienna.
"PP_PowerPackage" exhibition:
The exhibition at gallery ARTECONT focusses on the phygital level of digital art, on the fusion of real and digital worlds. Our cyberpunk aesthetic shapes the architectural form of the VR work "STReames #01" and influences the 3D prints as well as the AR prints on fabric in the exhibition spaces. A floating object from the VR world "STReames #01" materializes on Swiss stone pine wood.
Live recordings of audiovisual sessions are presented in the exhibition on five video loops. The genres of electronic music range from Tech House to Techno and Krautstep.

STATION ROSE - "STReames #01" VR-Installation (2024)
is part of "Kafka's Castle: A Post-AGI Inquiry"
The work "STReames #01" is based on an early computer graphic by STATION ROSE from the 1980s. This graphic was converted into a 3D file for an exhibition in 2018 and assembled into a spatial sculpture that casts shadows. In cyberspace, the plug-in elements appear as huge architectures reminiscent of monumental Egyptian buildings. Two levels make it possible to dive into Kafkaesque depths, with holes in the floor providing insights into further levels, but also increasing the risk of falling. It includes neuro-frequencies, known as Public Brain Sessions, which they have been practicing since 1989. This creates another layer in VR, a microscopic nature as frequency. Specific sound loops vibrate on both layers, rhythmically underpinning the aesthetics of the virtual spaces with a subtly disturbing atmosphere.
