Dig­i­tal iden­ti­ties. Inter­ac­tive installation

As users of social media or as avatars in the meta­verse, we deal with the design of dig­i­tal iden­ti­ties every day. Dig­i­tal plat­forms enable free­dom, diver­si­ty and inclu­siv­i­ty in the design of one’s own appear­ance, but also cre­ate new social con­ven­tions and visu­al codes.

To make the idea of dig­i­tal iden­ti­ties phys­i­cal­ly tan­gi­ble, we are show­ing an inter­ac­tive light instal­la­tion on Klaris­senplatz. Vis­i­tors slip into iden­ti­ties designed by artists and con­trol their avatars, which are pro­ject­ed onto the glass façade of the Neues Museum.

Fea­tured dig­i­tal artists are Tim Ger­rit­sen, Darien Brito, Kaoru Tana­ka and Yves Peitzner.
