Dive into the Dark Ages of the Universe!

Have you ever heard about the Dark Ages? No, not the time after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. We're talking about a different kind of darkness. After the Big Bang, the Universe was empty of the familiar objects we see today. No stars, no galaxies—
just vast stretches of gases.

Fast forward through millions of years and witness the first stars illuminating the cosmos. Modern cosmology strives to understand how the Universe got organized in the patterns we observe today.

Our VR installation "How Cosmic Structures Evolve" by Dr. Jiří Vyskočil & Dr. Ezgi Yılmaz (CASUS) showcases the mesmerizing distribution of dark matter in the Universe. Watch as dark matter organizes into filaments and nodes, creating a giant spider web that hosts stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters. This is the "cosmic web," the largest structure in the Universe!

Explore the Universe from the Dark Ages to the present! Experience the vastness of the cosmos! Discover the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy!

3D WORKSHOP
UNLOCK THE POWER OF DATA
w/ Dr. Jiří Vyskočil (CASUS)

Join us for an introductory workshop on interactive 3D art using virtual reality. You will learn to transform a 3D scan of your favorite object into an extraordinary visual experience. With visual effects using the Unity VFX Graph, interactivity, and virtual reality, the creative possibilities are endless!

This workshop is not part of the SUMMER.FILM.ACADEMY Workshop Programme so everyone interested in 3D modeling or digital visual arts is invited to participate.

By the end of the workshop, you will:

• Have a foundational understanding of Unity, enabling you

to create your own first-person-shooter-like environments
• Be able to import your 3D scans into Unity
• Know how to apply visual effects to these imports

using the Unity VFX Graph

This knowledge will provide a robust foundation to continue exploring Unity, the VFX graph, and their applications in art.

Schedule

Thursday 11 July 10 am to 1 pm Session 1:
Learn the Unity game engine, Create a basic 3D scene

Thursday 11 July 3 pm to 6 pm Session 2:
Add interactivity to your 3D scene

Friday 12 July 2 pm to 5 pm Session 3:
Transform 3D scans and add special effects using VFX Graph

Pre-requisites

We encourage you to bring your own data. For example, you can create 3D scans of an object of your choice by certain free-of-charge mobile apps.
