daydreaming with stanley kubrick

An art exhibition inspired by the work of Stanley Kubrick. Curated by James Putnam and James Lavelle, this exhibition featured a host of contemporary film makers, fine artists and musicians. Held at Somerset House, London, 6th of July – 24th August 2016.

Norbert Schoerner presented a 360° VR installation, titled Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums. The piece was a 360º Virtual Reality re-creation of an iconic scene from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey where we see the character Dr. Francis Poole run vertically through the circular centrifugal space of Discovery One. The title of the work refers to the eponymous 1929 book by Hermann Noordung whose visionary design concepts for a space station in the shape of a 'Habitat Wheel' inspired both Arthur C. Clarke and Kubrick. In collaboration with Happy Finish VR Studio.
