360° Poetry Festival Vienna

360° Poetry Festival Vienna from Olga Wroniewicz PJAIT on Vimeo.

360 poetry festival in the planetarium of Vienna: nine live poetry performances surrounded by gigantic projections of custom-crafted animations.
Premiered the 29th of September 2023.
Each performer worked closely with a dedicated team of young artists from PJAIT Warsaw for half a year to produce visuals that augment and translate the meanings of poetry for audiovisual immersion.
Over 200 viewers watched this extraordinary show in which visual, kinetic, and spoken poetry became one amplified experience.
We carried out the endeavor in the frame of the Urban Travel Machines, an international exchange and research-supporting project co-funded by the Creative Europe EU grant. The project connected 3 European art universities (PJAIT Poland, Aalto Finland, AP Belgium) with science centers in nearby countries (VHS Vienna, Austria, AAHAA Tartu, Estonia, Casa de las Ciencias, A Coruña, Spain) and a slam poetry network to enable further cooperation on new possibilities for live immersive interdisciplinary experiences in full-dome venues.
