Golem-Labor explores interdisciplinary and transnationally the interface of art and technology, man and machine, physical and virtual reality.
Dancers and choreographers work together with XR-artists and experts on research tasks and a performance. The results will flow into the next laboratories continuing in 2021. From this research, a virtual database of international movements will be created.
Golem-Labor emerged out of a predecessor transnational performance “Golem”. The dancework pioneered using motion capture technology to stage a dance live onstage and live in VR viewable from anywhere around the world. “Golem” was created by Carly Lave in collaboration with gamelab.berlin of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Hochschule Kaiserslautern Virtual Design, Ghunghru Sounds, and supported by the U.S. Fulbright Program, Fulbright Commission Germany, Stanford University and private sponsors.

The experiment began in October 2020 in Prague. A performance, a workshop and a conference examined the relationship between moving bodies, sensory experience and virtual design – creating the first Golem-Labor with a digital festival of VR and dance.
