The project proposed and explored a space in-between, using virtual reality (VR) technology and a digitized archive of images, it wants to invite reflection and research on various modes of knowing in connection to materiality and code, activity of images and the space needed for this. Can digital humanities open up to new comprehensive experiments around the presence and the absence, on the material picture-relations and the gaps of the in-between, moving toward regions of human knowledge which meaning cannot convey?
The installation, done by Maxime Le Calvé and Mareike Stoll, was part of the exhibition Extended Reality – Code and Materiality in Art and Culture, curated by Dagmar Schürrer and Maja Stark of the INKA research group at HTW Berlin.

The »Immersive Slideshow« was a collaboration of cluster Members Maxime Le Calvé & Mareike Stoll, with the interaction designer Dionysios Zamplaras and the team of Spatial Media at ENSAD Lab in Paris. It explored the virtual materiality of the digitized slide collection of the Berlin-based art historian Peter H. Feist (1928-2015).
