On Immersion to the Point of Vanishing in Different Spheres"⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This year’s theme involves on the one hand the artistic arrangement of immersive situations, spaces and images and, on the other hand, an examination of the mental implications of immersive experiences and the preconditions they require.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A central role is also played here by (critical) reflection and definition of the concept of the immersive, which in the context of contemporary art is primarily associated with technical developments and possibilities (such as AR/VR).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The main focus is on experiences of being completely immersed. It is intended that immersion in something and interaction with that something should ideally be illuminated, tested and felt out by artistic means.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What is immersion?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Historically, the experience of immersion ranges from the wall fresco to the interactive image space and often has to do with the principle of illusionism. Mostly, immersion in a sphere is conditional on a separate field appearing to be isolated from the real environment and that this field emanates a (sensual) attraction.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We have not just been experiencing immersion since Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have existed, since there have been virtual museums and gallery spaces or since the Metaverse (Facebook) has been knocking at our doors. It goes all the way back to the 360° fresco room, which found successors and exegetes in the panorama, the stereopticon, cinéorama and IMAX cinema. Today we have a complex array of media and possibilities available to us. Smartphones that have taken root in our hands are the most obvious. But reactive image and sound worlds have long been gaining ground as well. And by means of avatars, with which we can conquer new worlds, a sheer infinity of expanding zones and immersive experiences are beckoning to us.⁣⁣ --⁣⁣ More information online. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (Credits: courtesy Artist Residency Schloss Balmoral) (at Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUbUlKInDT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MR. WYLD'S MODEL OF THE EARTH.

The gigantic Globe of Mr. James Wyld, Mr., now opened in Leicester-square, is modelled on a scale of ten geographical miles to an inch horizontal, or six inches to a degree, and it is one mile to an inch vertical, the diameter being sixty feet. By means of a gradual ascent at different stages this colossal figure of the earth, with its mountain and valley, sea and river, may be viewed from a moderate distance. The objects just mentioned are represented by numberless raised blocks, and castings in plaster, figured on the interior concave of the sphere, the fittings up of which must have been both difficult and expensive.  Illustrated London News, Jan.-June, 1851

German artist Louis Braun, assisted by artists August Lohr and Franz Biberstein, unveiled in 1881 an immense panoramic painting of the battle, more than 400 feet in length and 50 feet high. On display, Braun’s masterpiece was stretched along the walls of a specially designed octagonal building, so that the viewer was totally immersed in the scene. The foreground was built up with dirt and rocks so the painting appeared to emerge beyond an actual landscape. The illusion was enhanced by brilliant electrical arc lighting. 

Panoramas are a worldwide phenomenon, uniting art and illusion. The beginning took place in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1787, with Robert Barker and his twelve-year-old son Henry Aston. Henry, a savant and magic lover, regarded fooling the eye (trompe l’oeil) integral to the enchantment of the panorama. Onlookers would see the curved 360-degree painting as if it were in the third dimension, as if they were transported to another place at another time, the same as it was, but then, somehow different.

Section of Burford’s Panorama, Leicester Square. From Robert Mitchell’s Plans and Views in Perspective of Buildings Erected in England and Scotland, 1801.

The Lumiere brothers filed for a patent for 360° takes on a single plate with a continuous image allowing for an overview; the Photorama. When the cinema was invented, it was immediately adopted: Grimoin—Sanson’s invention, the Cineorama in 1900, allowed viewers to experience a virtual balloon ride. Six simultaneous machines projected the film of an ascension inside a cylinder while the public stood on a platform built to resemble a basket.

Cinematic Device [Analysis]

Kinetoscope

The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device. The Kinetoscope was designed for films to be viewed by one individual at a time through a peephole viewer window at the top of the device.

Raree show

A raree show, peep show or peep box is an exhibition of pictures or objects, viewed through a small hole or magnifying glass.

Cineorama

Cinéorama was an early film experiment and amusement ride presented for the first time at the 1900 Paris Exposition. It was invented by Raoul Grimoin-Sanson and it simulated a ride in a hot air balloon over Paris.

Modern day Cineorama

Mirror Illusions

This illusion technique used in the theatre, amusement parks, museums, television, and concerts. It is done by creating half of the model, then sticking it beside a mirror then as you move along on the other side, there is another half transitional model also being mirrored. It gives a smooth changing effect.
