NUCLEUS | Partner Installation by SHA.ART | Neue Alte Post

SHA.ART is responsible for the artistic design and cultural revitalization of the Neue Alte Post. Under the motto ” Raum durchkunsten”, the team around the Viennese artist and perception researcher SHA. is developing a contemporary artistic approach to the revitalization of the historic building ensemble. For this purpose, SHA.ART is creating a new kind of “museum”, which will penetrate the historical area at various points with varying intensity: A medial museum not as a static structure, but as a dynamic process. At the center is a multi-dimensional media artwork in the old Dominican Courtyard of the Old Post Office – an immersive 360° Globe Experience for all senses. An exemplary intermediate state of this art development can be experienced exclusively at viennacontemporary as the spatial installation NUCLEUS by SHA.ART.
