Enter New Babylon is a Virtual Reality project, investigating the possibilities and limits of this future world for creative nomads. Put on your head set and step into that elusive world of New Babylon, where daily work has been replaced by play and life resides in poetry. It is the home of the Homo Ludens, created by Dutch painter Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920–2005) in the sixties. Young, activist spoken word artists and designers reflect on New Babylon through VR and mixed reality in a theatrical installation. Is it all that Constant dreamed of or has it turned into a nightmare?

In this edition the installation will show two VR worlds:

  • Echoes of Oblivion
  • We Do Not Want to Fill Our Days with Regrets

The installation will be accompanied with an exhibition of photos from Constants New Babylon project in the 1960s made by Bram Wisman, Jan Versnel and others.
