While the esteemed Berlin-based artist, DJ and Stil vor Talent label-owner Oliver Koletzki can look back onto an impressive career since his 2005 debut release 'Der Mückenschwarm' on Sven Väth's Cocoon, he challenges the status quo with every single new production and set, drawing from an ever-evolving plethora of styles and moods. Inspired by his extensive travels around the globe, which have taken him from the deserts of Burning Man, Rainbow Serpent and – this spring – Coachella to the beaches of Tulum, Tel Aviv, Ibiza and beyond, Oliver's output shines with the maturity of an artist at the top of his game and the playfulness of a youthfully curious mind.

Julius Hilker, Urania Planetarium Potsdam: How to use Blender for Fulldome Production - In recent years, the open-source software Blender has developed into a viable alternative to commercial products such as 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D and Maya. It is now used not only by hobbyists and in the advertising industry, but also for successful, Oscar-nominated productions. This talk serves both as an introduction to and a case for Blender as a tool in fulldome production.

Strange transient stars that don’t go away. Her recent peer-reviewed research publications show robust evidence for non-anthropogenic UAP. Despite being shrouded in a mix of blind spot management and disinformation, the theme of NHI and UAP has not gone away, instead it has never been so prominently visible as before in the past 80 years:

News from a Bauhaus-Uni project: ET-phenomena reflected in Immersive Media -

Daniel Reiterer of Lucy Dreams. Why we think we need to perform in the Dome
The musical landscape is being reshaped by the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Lucy Dreams embodies this transformation through a seamless fusion of analog and digital art, with Lucy — an active artificial band member — at the heart of their creative vision. The trio’s concept explores the dynamic between Lucy and her human counterparts, presenting SonicWaveArtPop as both an expressive and immersive medium that captivates the senses while posing socially relevant questions. The band has brought its signature sound to stages across Canada, Japan, Europe, and the UK. Following a major performance at the renowned Konzerthaus Vienna and with upcoming shows in London, New York, Vienna, and Paris, Lucy Dreams continues to enchant audiences with what The Line of Best Fit described as “a quite irresistible show.”
Lucy Dreams concludes it’s now time to create a dome performance!

Is Fulldome too old to be Wow?
A panel of dedicated individuals will ask if the Art and Science of Fulldome has really sparked the “Spherical Revolution” (to quote Pedro Zaz). How immersive media were born in the Planetarium, then established themselves outside its cradle, conquered new grounds and applications, became ho in the world of entertainment and are still coming back to, and rejuvenating, the Planetarium.
The genre of 360° Fulldome has always considered itself cutting edge, both in art and technology. But does that promise hold true?
Is fulldome already too old to be Wow? Where are the roads less traveled that will become mainstream later? Who are the game changers and would they please come out of the closet?
These are some of the questions – among others, that are not yet disclosed – that will be debated in the panel.

its power. Be part of our psychonautics crew.
