About the project

Real-Time-Nomads starts with the observation that immigration is a vital and fascinating aspect of urban reality. Cities have always been places where people of various backgrounds converge. Yet Europe's cultural diversity is not necessarily seen as enriching, but some specific groups are perceived as „problematic fringe groups“.

The objective of the project is to analyze the multi- dimensional spaces in which we move and to explore the boundaries of intercultural communication. The results are reflected in a multimedia installation.
Swiss artist Maja Weyermann has interviewed shopkeepers and food stand owners from different cultural backgrounds in Berlin and worked with them to reconstruct their memories of rooms and spaces from their childhoods in their countries of origin. The artist virtually simulated these reconstructed rooms in 3-D.
The completed installation combines elements of the remembered rooms and the current workspaces of the interview partners.
The medium of 3-D simulation allows for the creation of virtual space rooted in private memory. This process makes these realms, in which perception and imagination are merged, accessible to others.

Realisierung in 2010 (Ankündigung)

Implementation of the multimedia installation

The final installation weaves the different facets of the remembered rooms and the current workspaces of the interview partners into a dialogue with each other. The installation combines the renderings of the virtual memory rooms with sound collages and videos which combine the memory rooms and the current business premises of the interview partners into an artistic portrait.
