WE ARE UNITED BY THE FASCINATION OF USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO CREATE MAGICAL MOMENTS AND POETIC ATMOSPHERES
In our processes, we connect diverse forms of expression at the interface of media art, video, sound, installation and performance. Combining our technolgical expertise with a constant creative curiosity, we explore the fields of digital design, projection mapping, experimental animation, real-time programming, composition, generative sound and sonic art. In our work we pursue context-specific and interactive approaches, always seeking to dynamically transform or alter the experience of space and to actively integrate the environment, performers and the audience into our art.
After previous involvement in various individual and collective artistic projects, five core members founded Xenorama in 2014. Xenorama currently consists of Marcel Bückner, Tim, Heinze, Richard Oeckel, Lorenz Potthast, Moritz Richard and Mateo Ziethen. We work together with a network of creative people, institutions and companies. As a creative and reliable partner, we are able to realize projects on a flexible scale from the initial idea to the final result.
Our studios are based at art and creative hub Rechenzentrum in Potsdam and art centre Güterbahnhof in Bremen.
