The Fair Grounds<\/a> is the playground of the new media art collective DROPSTUFF MEDIA. The project builds a collection of artworks where amusement rides are presented as art installations.<\/p>\n

De Koude Kermis – The Portal is the virtual counterpart of The Fair Grounds, a social VR amusement park. The world and the avatars in De Koude Kermis have been designed inspired by\u00a0De stijl.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You can enjoy bumper cars where sometimes the cars like to dance by themselves, a VR ride where you can wear goggles that take you on a ride to Venice. Hop onto a merry-go-round and try to hit as many animations as you can. These animations are scanned digital copies of the original zoetrope cards owned by the Amsterdam Filmmuseum<\/a><\/strong> EYE.<\/a> Or you can try your luck by grabbing a virtual cat with the grappler.<\/p>\n

All this while people outside of VR can monitor you, and try to pick up your character with a big crane in the sky.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve worked together with Improvive on different projects in the past. The fast and smooth communication was a delight. The flexible attitude towards changes during the project is one of their strenghts. In the meantime, they hold up to their project planning.”<\/em><\/p>\n
