INTRO
On 16 December 2017 we filled the Pergamonmuseum Berlin with light and music together with the STEGREIF.orchester: an augmented stride concert, in which the musicians walk through the museum and light and image follow them.
The musicians strode through the otherworldly scenario inside the world-famous museum together with us, presenting classical pieces as well as improvised parts. We supported and interacted with them by augmenting the space with classical illumination, virtual reality and projection mapping upon the exhibits.
Key challenges
Following musicians who never stand still
Answering improvised passages live
Light and projection on antiquities
The stage was a World Cultural Heritage Site, with exhibits from the Orient and Occident that can also be visited online. The concert sold out in advance, and any remaining tickets were released at the museum box office, first come, first served.
