The curator of "Artificial Paradise? Immersion in Space and Time" offers insights into the concept of the exhibition and outlines the different artistic positions on display. Thereby he will review the history of immersion in art. The phenomenon of immersion did not just enter the art world with the invention of the VR glasses. Already with the use of central perspective in the renaissance or in romantic landscape painting, the idea of enabling the viewers to immerse into alternative worlds played an important part.
