Title of the artwork: “Kabaret” VR-experience

Research theme: Deep-water corals (Birte Schuppe; read more…)

From the artist: “Kabaret” is an interactive Virtual Reality journey about corals, plankton and a lonely shrimp’s worries about the future. It is equally inspired by what science has taught us about the ocean so far, and the mysteries that remain. Motivated by the desire to protect deep-water corals in Røst and inspired by the synchronized mass spawning of southern corals, the experience blends conservation, creative exploration and science into an immersive, imaginative ecosystem.
