Every summer since 2012, Weimar becomes a meeting point for digital avant-garde artists, culture enthusiasts and scientists. Genius Loci Weimarfestival for site-specific audio-visual art and interactive facade projections now ranks among the leading international events in this area.
Competition
Every year, three new facades are chosen to become a part of the competition. Whilst differing greatly, all of the sites are appealing and intriguing in their own way. One artist or artist team is chosen as the winner for each facade. Thereby, the requirements are not straightforward, but winners can look forward to a total of 45,000 euros prize money, kudos and a fantastic show!
It is the aim of Genius Loci Weimar to draw attention to the spirit of the location with respect to the history, architecture and other visible and invisible layers of meaning, and to bring these to life using the innovative techniques of the media art of video mapping.
Politically and socially, 2015 is set to be an extremely eventful year: War at the edges of Europe, alarming political movements in Germany, and an insecure and ever-shrinking societal middle-class. This year, Genius Loci Weimar will be de-emphasising the city’s touristic and classical beacons. This time, the festival will be shining a light on three locations in the inner city that likewise represent eventful and affecting times: The Atrium Weimar, the Jakobsplan and the squatted house on Gerberstrasse.
