DARV is a series of projects initiated by an international team of artists, interaction designers and software developers based in Austria. Realised in the context of close collaboration between art and technology, this endeavour connects media art, site-specific installations and contemporary dance, using the means of mixed reality and interactive video projections. Artistic concepts are transformed into Mixed Reality exhibitions, performative interventions in public spaces or intermedia dance performances, offering an experience of intermedia oneness to participating artists and audience alike.
The DARV project series includes the following projects produced or currently in production until the end of 2021: DARV_Abandoned Land 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0, intermedia dance performances and stage based AR experiences, presented at the Oil Tank Culture Park, Seoul, Ars Electronica Festival & Center in Linz; DARV_Wandering Islands, a Mixed Reality exhibition, performative interventions and intermedia dance performance at Paradise Art Lab, Seoul (premiered in October 2020); DARV_Steps Untold, a Mixed Reality experience and performative interventions in public spaces in Linz, Austria.
DARV core team: Mihaela Kavdanska (Media and Interactive Art), Violeta Ivanova (Conceptual Art) and Florian Weinrich (Interaction Design and Software Development).
The DARV project series is co-funded and supported by:
City of Linz Cultural Fundings: Linz Jahresprogramm, Linz EXPOrt, Linz ImPULS; OÖ Kultur; Paradise Art Foundation, Arts Council Korea; Ars Electronica Center, LM.Media, Pusch.TV, KOTKI visuals.
