VRHAM! Virtual Reality & Arts Festival 2020 will take place with all different this year because of the Covid-19 global crisis!

Virtual Reality art transcends the boundaries of all conventional forms of art, because it focuses on the viewer and surrounds him or her with their own 360-degree world. We are proud to be able to show this art in Hamburg!

Ulrich Schrauth, Artistic Director

Just one year after its first edition in June 2018, VRHAM! has established itself as an important role in the international VR art scene with its second edition in 2019. The Virtual Reality & Arts Festival in Hamburg offers a unique platform for the international and manifold VR art to engage with this new immersive art form. Hamburg is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin.

With the Open Call published in February 2020, the VRHAM team set out in search of the world’s most outstanding and innovative artistic Virtual Reality projects focusing on finding unusual artistic positions for the VRHAM! 2020 program. 

VRHAM! Virtual Reality & Arts Festival 2020 will take place, but it’s all different this year because of the Covid-19 global crisis!

The statement on their official website briefed  - We make a virtue out of necessity and present a primarily digital version of our festival: VRHAM! VIRTUAL 2020. Encouraged and accompanied by long-time partners and the authorities, the festival will be going to venturing an experiment: From 4 June 2020, visitors from Hamburg and all over the world are invited to experience curated Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality art in digital space, exchange ideas digitally and participate in a virtual festival with the opening show, partner events, and live program. With its festival hub in Hamburg’s Oberhafenquartier, VRHAM! VIRTUAL is the first art festival that will transform its complete program into an almost real world of experience with virtual features.
