T_VISIONARIUM OPEN CITY
2008 w/ VPRO


As part of Urban Century, a crossmedia collaboration between the VPRO (Dutch public broadcaster) and the Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, I developed together with Jeffrey Shaw and iCinema, TVisionarium OPEN CITY.

T_Visionarium OPEN CITY is an installation about a century of urbanisation in which documentaries, reports, and interviews are presented in innovative fashion and in three dimensions. The 360º installation, 3 metres tall and 10 metres wide, offers visitors a spectacular, new film experience and the chance to browse by themselves through the material and remix it.

T_Visionarium is an innovative interface developed by iCinema Research Centre researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia: Neil Brown, Dennis del Favero, Matthew McGinity, Jeffrey Shaw, along with Peter Weibel of the ZKM Centre for Art and Media Karlsruhe. Shaw , co-director of the iCinema Centre and Dean of the School of Creative Media, City University Hong Kong, is an artist internationally renowned as a pioneer in the field of new media. Del Favero, Director of the iCinema Centre is internationally recognised for his photography, video and new media.

T_Visionarium OPEN CITY is an initiative within the framework of the VPRO series Urban Century in collaboration with the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR), Open City: Designing Coexistence, the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, Images for the Future, and the iCinema Research Centre. The contents include images from the rich archives of the VPRO and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, The One Minutes Foundation, and Holland Doc 24.
