FESTIVAL DATES: 7–15 JUNE 2019
PUBLIC AWARD CEREMONY: 7 JUNE 2019

SUBMISSIONS AND MORE INFORMATION: http://VRHAM.DE/OPENCALL
QUESTIONS: OPENCALL@VRHAM.DE

VRHAM! is Germany’s first artistic Virtual Reality festival. From 7-15 June 2019, it will once again take place at Hamburg’s Oberhafenquartier, comprised of an extensive artistic program and complemented by a diverse series of talks. Whether interactive works, 360° films or installations in Virtual, Augmented or Mixed Reality:we are interested in unusual artistic approaches!

The theme of this year’s festival is “DIS:SOLUTION”. We are looking for artists to present their own concepts of dis:solution, de:limitation, etc. Where do we cross borders, where do they blur? Whether your focus is on media, material, political, physical or associative aspects: how do the artistic considerations of your VR experience relate to our subject of “DIS:SOLUTION”?
