WITH Jaco van Schalkwyk (visual artist), Willem Boshoff (visual artist) and Herman Myburgh (specialist in virtual reality) SCRIPT Quaz Roodt and Bibi Slippers COMPOSER Jaco Meyer CURATOR Dineke Orton

Venture into a unique virtual reality experience, loosely inspired by the centennial of Afrikaans as an official language in South Africa. The presentation captures and celebrates the development and change of the language through a multimedia experience that integrates visual art, music, poetry and technology. Visitors can expect a combination of a physical and a virtual reality experience (mixed reality), with forest-like nature scenes by painter Jaco van Schalkwyk and word art by Willem Boshoff, intertwined with sound and music created by composer Jaco Meyer. Both of these art forms illuminate and support the Afrikaans poetry of Quaz Roodt and Bibi Slippers. The different media were processed into a virtual reality (VR) by Herman Myburgh, VR designer, while the overall presentation was planned and assembled by curator Dineke Orton.
