Media artworks are often immersive, with strong visuals, moving, or political. They trigger something in us, sometimes immediately we are confronted by a work, sometimes the effect is latent. The Dialogue of the Arts has invited authors with powerful literary voices to share their very personal reactions to artworks. Via the app UrbanExplorAR, you can call up the texts as audio tracks, thus giving the artworks another dimension. The writers hold a dialogue with one artwork at a time: Martina Clavadetscher with LIMBO, Maria Milisavljevic with ACCESS, and Matin Soofipour Omam with The Silent Chaos of Colors.
