"Virtual Rooms in Meat Space" explored how young people think and feel in relation to the spaces of the future and the relationship in-between virtual rooms and IRL worlds. It did this while investigating new tools and artistic methods for working with and towards a young audience.

 

Through workshops and talks, teenagers in Malmö were invited to collaboratively develop an interactive, multisensory installation that explored experiences and translations between virtual rooms and IRL worlds.

 

The project was supported by Region Skåne within the initiative “Support for new forms of storytelling and stories for children and young people”.

 

The project was run by Freja Andersson in collaboration with invited artists and educators.
Parts of the research was taking part at Inter Arts Center in Malmö and in cooperation with Ung Teaterscen - Scen utanför C, a project by Riksteatern.

 

An open studio was held at Inter Arts Center

where a hybid multimedia installation was built.
The project was also presented and showcased

at the conference "Morgondagens Pippi" at Astrid Lindgrens Värld in Vimmerby, Nov 2024.
