During the weekend more than 12.000 visitors gazed in wonder at the spectacular facade shows of the second Genius Loci Weimar festival. While in 2012 around 6.000 visited the shows, the number has more than doubled. Was last year only the Fürstenhaus was illumina- ted, this year the three facades Wittumspalais, City Castle courtyard and the Bauhaus Univer- sity Weimar main building were transformed into huge urban screen.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 interested visitors had the opportu- nity to experience the complex productions. The Wittumspalais facade was put into limelight with „Ana.Digital“ by Media Apparat from Austria. The projection showed a dancer merged into the projection, to become a dream of historical memory particles. In the city castle cour- tyard, „Liszt hitecture“ was projected by Video Mapping Hungary (Hungary). A journey of the musician Franz Liszt from Hungary and a Hungarian artist group to Weimar was visually re- narrated and combined with a remix of Franz Liszt‘s music. The main building of the Bauhaus University Weimar presented „Legacy“ by RDV Collectif (France): A triptych on the
legacy of the Bauhaus heritage, a study and interpretation of the influences of the old over the new Bauhaus.
Beside the three shows the festival provided several other highlights. The Genius Loci Club in the Project and Design Workshop Gaswerk counted on Friday after the premiere show over 600 visitors, enjoying live video performances, honey-combshaped light installations and electronic music from DWIG + Deer (Weimar) and Mare Ateq (both Berlin). A VJ battle was fought out between Das Konglomerat (Weimar) and Lampenschirm (Vienna). Beyond that the filmmaker and choreographer Daniel Belton (Good Company) from New Zealand presented live on Saturday night a specially designed facade projection „Time Dance / rapid mix“ for the Bauhaus University Weimar.
Prof. Markus Wintersberger, a lecturer at the Institute Creative / Media / Technologies at FH St. Pölten (Austria) and a member of Media Apparat held as well a lecture, while a dancer en- hanced the performative character of his presentation. „It is not only about the technological aspect, facade projects should also be artistic and playful irritations, which are able to change the rules“said Winterbergsberger.
Genius Loci Weimar is an unique media art festival which looks beyond the mere geometry
of objects to explore the possibilities of reflecting the spirt of the place through projection art. Unlike erratic claptrap, Genius Loci Weimar approach focuses on an intensive analysis of history, habitus and the architectonical composition of the place. The international festival of audiovisual projections Genius Loci Weimar was launched in 2012 and became an immediate success. 2013 will mark the expansion of Genius Loci Weimar in time and space: three historic facades will be animated, and invite you to an evening stroll along the projection locations. The festival is being expanded to include a program with competition, symposium, workshops and exhibition in cooperation with the Bauhaus University Weimar. A new and unique festival format enriches so the “Weimarer Sommer” event series and offers a hotspot for a young art- form and provides a pool for different creative disciplines.
Genius Loci Weimar is sponsored by e.g. Thuringian Ministry of Economy, Labour and Techno- logy, the Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof, the Weimarer Sommer the City of Weimar, Kulturstiftung des Freistaats Thüringen, the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and the Bauhaus University Weimar.

UNDER AN ALIAS from nerdworking on Vimeo.
Under An Alias is the new big fairytale of nerdworking, a digital historical expression. This time our story takes place in a small German town; Weimar. The effect of a small town with the population of 65,000 people on the world concerns all of us, a city where the majority of its income is from culture. Weimar is a meeting and creation point for eminent intellectuals of our current times. This town, where Goethe wrote his masterpieces, where the music of Franz Liszt could be heard. This is where its republic of Germany was founded in 1919, whose legacy was subsequently marred by the establishment of a Nazi concentration camp in 1937. Weimar, a city that currently merges art and architecture in Bauhaus university, has many untold stories.
Although difficult, telling Weimar’s story was incredibly educational for an Istanbul based group of artists. It gave an opportunity for nerdworking illustrate a story from another perspective. Dozens of people spent long hours immersing themselves the rich cultural background, whilst taking into consideration the opinions of previous researchers. Under An Alias, created by collaboration of international artists and working completely in cyberspace, made its debut as the main act of the Genius Loci Festival.
Under An Alias was on exhibition from 10th till 12th of August on Fürstenhaus, Franz Liszt Conservatory, each night from 8PM till the early hours, several times a night. We decided that there couldn’t be anything more appropriate, than projecting the analogy onto this iconic building. The initial section is the spirit, then the muscles then the skin of this tribute to the legacy of Weimar was created. The story was based on the linear history of the city, the abstract origin slowly turned into decaying effect in the years of war. Then the exploding Bauhaus movement after the World War II is portrayed with a statement to pay homage to one of movement's greatest masters; Kandinsky. Then the story flows into the German industrial machine, healing its wounds from the diffused times with aggressive images of engineering and machinery. And finally, after all of city's turbulent history, we are waving goodbye to Weimar with its peace and order as a giant music box. We appreciate her hospitality.
Under An Alias was made by nerdworking's crew of 22 people from different disciplines architectures, new media artists, sound designers and the staff of Genius Loci Weimar. Enjoy the show, till the next fairytale.
