"Kimospheres" are kinetic atmospheres currently explored in installations and performances built by DAP-Lab and associates during research on wearable space. The DAP-Lab is directed by Johannes Birringer & Michèle Danjoux. Below you find some photographs of the premiere of metakimosphere no. 4 on May 27, 2017. It is the fourth installment of the kimosphere series, this time a collaboration with VR technology and 3D film and the virtual evoked as a ghostly presence inside and alongside the Speaker Forest (8 channel sound installation shrouded in nets) and the other interactional stations or locations inside this forest, the soundsphere, the coral reef, the lemur game, the lemur forest, the chair circle with the 3D Horla film by Paul Moody, and the poetrywriter station with Sara S. Belle. The dancers are ghosts, moving in and out of the action, masked interlopers. The poetry is "cut up," let loose, set afloat, palimpsestic, as Emma Filtness explained so evocatively during the symposium that preceded the opening of the exhibition.
