Wasn’t the Gläserne Blume standing there? Wasn’t “Guten Tag” by Wolfgang Mattheuer hanging back there? With their installation “Palace of Memory”, the CyberRäuber make the impossible possible with the help of virtual reality. The Palace of the Republic, which has completely disappeared, can be entered digitally. In a two-year project, anecdotes, impressions and objects have been collected to be incorporated into the VR installation, transforming it into a virtual work of art.
Immerse yourself in the palace, create a (new) image for yourself or let your memories come alive! The virtual model of the palace, which will continue to be built until 2024, will open its doors to you on 07.10. and 08.10.2023.
Marcel Karnapke and Björn Lengers have been working together on art in digital space as CyberRäuber since 2016. With an “arguably unique mix of affinity for technology, pioneering spirit, pragmatism and love of theater” (Theater der Zeit), they create productions and projects that are driven by a great curiosity about the creative possibilities of technology and are shown in galleries, municipal theaters and at international festivals.
Gitti Scherer, born in Bad Aibling, studied stage and costume design at the Dresden University of Fine Arts. She has lived in Berlin and Stuttgart since 2001 and works as a scenographer and exhibition designer for theatres, museums and cultural institutions.
In the field of theatre, she has worked with directors Nurkan Erpulat, Elina Finkel, Carolin Pinkos and Simone Sterr for, among others: Deutsches Theater Berlin, Maxim Gorki Theatre Berlin and Burgtheater Vienna. The joint work with Nurkan Erpulat at the Gorki Theatre was awarded the Friedrich Luft Prize 2023. For the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, she regularly develops spatial concepts for festivals and workshops such as the Theatertreffen der Jugend and the Tanztreffen der Jugend.
In the field of exhibitions, her focus is on an interactive-performative approach. She has designed exhibitions for the Kunsthalle Bremen, the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, the Kindermuseum Frankfurt am Main and the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Potsdam, as well as visitor areas in the Gropius Bau and the Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin.
For the Humboldt Forum in 2022, she designed the exhibition and performance space for “VINYAGO – Dance beyond colonial biographies” for the Asedeva collective from Tanzania. She also designed the spatial installations for the digital and analogue opening of the Humboldt Forum in 2020 and 2021.
