[Reader-list] [Announcements] Mumbai: 3D virtual reality Berlin Wall installation

[Tamiko Thiel]

Dear Friends,

We are now coming to the final leg of our South Asian tour:

We will be exhibiting the interactive 3D installations "Virtuelle
Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall" in Bombay, and would be honored if you
came to see it! It deals with life "in the shadow of the Berlin Wall,"
was supported by the cultural department of the Berlin Senate, and won
the IBM Innovation Award at the 2009 Boston Cyberarts Festival. The tour
is organized by the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, but in Mumbai
the exhibition is at the Indian Institute of Technology in Powai.

The opening reception for "Virtuelle Mauer" is on January 29th at 5pm at
IIT, all are invited! The installation runs until February 7th (but I
will have to leave Bombay much earlier, on February 2nd).

Please see below for more information and links!

Yours,
Tamiko Thiel
