VAF Culture
… is art, games, and everything in between. VAF-CULTURE offers you a chance to experience internationally renowned artists and to dive into the experimental and alternative side of animation.
The CULTURE-track offers events in the borderland between animation, art, and technology. Activities can be found in the many cultural institutions around Viborg and some will even happen publicly. Step into a new reality with some of the most cutting-edge VR and AR artists from Denmark and abroad. There’s a broad variety of exhibitions from conceptual art (Expanded Animation), documentary pieces (ANIDOX:VR), and popular games for computers and consoles (Viborg Game EXPO). Do not miss out on the chance to meet the artists at symposiums and talks for a discussion about the challenges and possibilities in the field.

Event Details
Together with Viborg Library VAF invites all of you to join a wonderful talk about animation, presented by animators themselves. We will explore the thoughts behind different productions, watch movies, and talk about how art and stories affect us.
Through a series of 3 talks we’ll dive into different aspects of animation. The first talk is an introduction to artist and filmmaker Michelle Kranot and her work. She is based here in Viborg and works here together with her husband at The Animation Workshop. But their work extends far beyond the city limits. Together they have received international film prizes and their work has been exhibited around the world. We will dive into their experimental films, tactile VR-works, and get a look into new technologies and experiences.
The talk will be in English, it is free but requires sign-up

Event Details
Plankton are too small to see, but they can form large enough masses to be seen from space. They are crucial partners in the work of keeping both the oceans and the air healthy. How does it feel to be a plankton? To explore this question, SUPERFLEX designed a computer-generated plankton in a VR environment. Unsettling our perceptions of scale and otherness, Psychoplankton allows the viewer to mentally drift along with a life form that bears no resemblance to human beings, though we share a planet, an ecosystem, and a future.
If the viewer remains idle, then the world inside the VR disintegrates—the images fall apart, leaving an empty space only inhabited by strains of elevator music. This music is always in the middle of a song, seemingly never-ending, eerily familiar but unplaceable. The grandiose but banal melody simultaneously emphasizes and deflates the relationship between the microscopic, the cosmic, and the subjective. When the viewer starts moving again, the music fades, the visuals are reconstructed, and the journey continues.
Eventually, the journey takes us through Earth’s atmosphere, close to the surface, and into the ocean. As the microscopic world comes closer, the viewer approaches a phytoplankton, eventually entering it and taking on its perspective. The visuals become more fluid, and the viewer sees the world from another point of view.
Psykoplankton by SUPERFLEX is commisioned by Viborg Kunsthal / Viborg UNESCO City of Media Art, and developed in close collaboration with The Animation Workshop and Khora Contemporary.

Downtown July rocks Viborg! Join us on Paletten for a great live concert and the premiere of 4 newly created music videos, made by local young artists.
Downtown July is a Danish band full of playful energy and a will to explore different genres
The band is not afraid to mix genres and elements from rock, punk, reggae, soul, and world music. Their sound is a new postrock and alternative indie. Downtown July is hard-hitting beats and soulful and melodic tunes. Their Danish lyrics explore a wide range of emotions, from the utter powerless to dominant.
