Update (30.11.2021)

We congratulate our colleagues from Crew for the exit of Delirious Departures! You can read some of the press comments here:

Pzazz: "????????? ?????????? is so many things at once. It makes you think about the irrepressible lust to take a step into the unknown. It is - certainly in these Covid times - a post-apocalyptic experience. And it is also a fascinating dive into the architecture of stations. We rarely pay attention to them, but they always write a whole story even before we start our own travelogue. Magical.” Read the full article here.

NRC Handelsblad: More accessible is the penetrative VR-installation ????????? ?????????? in the Royal Museums by the Brussels arts- and research collective CREW. During the lockdowns the collective made 3D-scans of departures halls of Belgian stations and allows you to explore these virtual spaces, with technical imperfections and glitches included. The emptiness of the usually bustling departure halls feels unsettling. Scattered are several 'solidified' figures. "People who were standing still for longer than five minutes were registered by the 3D-scanner" explains Crew founder Eric Joris. They wanted to scan the concrete structure of the building, but the people were included. It is literally time solidified, and a grim portrait of the lockdown.
