#We are City consists of a multimedia app with which the audience can participate in the creation of art. When it gets dark, you can use the app programmed by Alexander Liebrich and Marco Zampella to participate actively in creating the audiovisual presentation in a shop window in the Waldstrasse. Via digital interfaces this work enables you to be part of a media art work and make art together with others.

Alexander Liebrich & Marco Zampella
The creative duo of computer scientist Alexander Liebrich (*1978) and media artist Marco Zampella (* 1978) have been working together since 2010 at the intersection of art, technology, people, and nature. They focus particularly on human–machine interactions. In collaboration with dramaturg Frank Halbig at Southwest Broadcasting, a regional public broadcasting corporation, in 2010 they developed an interactive radio play for Mobile Interface Radio (MIR). In 2011, at the first BEYOND Festival in Karlsruhe, they presented a multiplayer video game which used real and virtual content. Besides computer games they progam smartphone apps and explore digital means of extending human perception like virtual reality and augmented reality. Alexander Liebrich and Marco Zampella live and work in Karlsruhe.
