The REALTIME AFFAIRS event series is a regular meet-up for artists, designers and interested audiences who are passionate about audiovisual performances and immersive experiences. The aim is to present formats on the interdisciplinary border of performing arts, gaming and media art. The format initiated by DOCK 11 Digital, in collaboration with the Berlin University of the Arts, is intended to function as a regular meeting point, hosting discussion formats, try-out presentations and panels. Our goal is to create a vibrant space for sharing ideas, supporting each other and exploring novel approaches.
We want to share our next REALTIME AFFAIRS event with you on 17.05 @dock_digital_berlin, where we are welcoming our next two spatial guests. This time, we'll delve deep into the intricate relationship between nature, organic life, and the realm of the artificial, all through the lenses of XR and storytelling. Join us for engaging exploration and connect with our community! See you there!
Guests:
Anke Schiemann Medienkünstlerin / media artist
Anke, a media artist and filmmaker based in Berlin is interested in exploring new ways of narrative and shaping them into immersive, sensory installations. She experiments primarily with XR and spatialized sound, frequently collaborating with musicians. Anke‘s work deals with themes of hybridization in contemporary technological utopias and speculative futures in the age of the Anthropocene. Throughout all her works, animation always serves as a tool to inject a surreal element and bring fine art practice such as drawing and painting into the filmic experience.

Marlene Bart - weaving string figures at the shifting interface of nature and technology
Marlene Bart, PhD, is a visual artist and researcher whose practice resides at the nexus of natural history, anatomy, and visual art. Within her projects, she investigates how our engagement with visual taxonomies can be mediated and critiqued through the medium of extended reality. This approach exemplifies Bart's keen interest in the interplay between technology and techno-imagination.
Bart considers herself a multimedia artist. The varied use of multimedia techniques, including printmaking, artist books, sculptures, taxidermy, installations, XR animations, and AI, allows her to seamlessly integrate a broad spectrum of visual content.
Her work probes significant questions within interspecies discourse, addressing inquiries such as "How ought we navigate the continually eroding boundaries between humans, nature, and technology?" and "In what manners can we shift away from our human-centric perspective to cultivate a genuinely non-anthropocentric world?"
