Skopéin / Michael Johansson

This project is a user study of an upcoming Virtual Reality work that combines artistic development with scientific methodology. The work is based on the Knowledge Horizon Trajectory model (KHT) – a framework for structuring knowledge development in the intersection between art and technology.

The starting point is the physical installation Skopéin: a videoprojection created for a church space in Karlsruhe. The project examines how Skopéin can be transformed into a VR format without losing its artistic intentionality. At the same time, with scientific rigor, it analyzes the transition between physical and virtual spaces in order to articulate and specify the qualities of experience for an intended visitor.

Come and try it out!

Feel, listen, immerse yourself and give us feedback. How does the transition from physical to virtual space affect your experience? What is lost – and what becomes possible anew?

Friday, 12 September 2025 at 10–12 or 14–16. Location: VR/Sound Lab. Please register by 9 September 2025 at the latest at michael [dot] johansson [at] hkr [dot] se and indicate your preferred time. Subject: Skopéin.
