Intense weeks are behind us, now it’s time to reap the rewards and it is time to see what the students of our two minors, Basic and Advanced, have developed. There are two opportunities to do so.

Final Presentation of the Immersive Arts Basic Minor
On Thursday, 5 March 2026, the closing event of Immersive Arts Basic Minor takes place, where students present their interactive works. After intensive introductions to the technical possibilities of the space, the students have developed their own works in transdisciplinary teams, based on motion capture technology, projection mapping, ambisonic sound and much more. The projects can be experienced without registration from 5 p.m. onwards. They will be presented one after the other, with an aperitif providing entertaining breaks between presentations. Prepare to be surprised by surreal talking forests, excerpts from an opera, interactive games and radioactive flowers.

XR-Intervention at Opernhaus Zurich by the Immersive Arts Advanced Minor Students
Next Tuesday, the students of the Immersive Arts Advanced Minor will present their extended reality works at the Zurich Opera House. After intensively studying the production of Cardillac, their works offer visitors insights into Cardillac’s thoughts and actions: walk in a golden cage, visit crime scenes or explore the more than 100-year history of the play itself. One hour before the final performance on Tuesday and during the interval, visitors will have the opportunity to try out the students’ works at various locations in the foyer.
Where: Zurich Opera House, a ticket for the opera is needed to access the installations.
