Rocco Helmchen & Johannes Kraas

Since 2009 the creative duo Rocco Helmchen and Johannes Kraas have collaborated on most of their projects. Their main focus lies in the creation of immersive experiences for dome theaters and planetariums looking for a balance between art, science and entertainment. In this field they realized numerous projects ranging from planetarium feature shows and timelapse travelogs over image shows for companies to experimental art projects. The two artists have especially emphasized on the perfect symbiosis of visuals and music in various forms of immersive media like fulldome, VR and immersive video installations. From their 1st show „tempus.ruhr“ to the award winning “Dimensions” and their last feature show „Impossible Space“, their works have been presented all around the globe at festivals, planetariums, abandoned power stations, casinos and even

undetermined outcome

undetermined outcome
”Nobody understands Quantum Mechanics” (Richard P. Feynman) Undetermined outcome is an experimental audiovisual piece attempting to imagine something which can’t in fact be pictured. By stripping away layers of the real world it tries to visualize the strange cosmos of quantum mechanics and deconstructs reality into the indeterminable realm of fundamental particles. Through an immersive journey focussing on emotion, confusion and fascination, it opens an interpretative gateway to a world which seems impossible to comprehend by everyday experience. The piece explores the themes like indeterminacy and interconnectedness in quantum mechanics, representing particles as abstract shapes that seem to morph and change as the audience observes them, and using the visuals and audio to create a sense of unpredictability and uncertainty, as well as a sense of interconnectedness between the audience and the universe by fusing in seemingly familiar shapes from reality. 〷◠‿◠〷 This project is part of our festival track "MUNICH Beyond" supported by Film Fernseh Fonds Bayern (FFF).
