HLRS, in collaboration with the Media Solution Center Baden-Württemberg, will host the following four S+T+ARTS EC(H)O residencies.
Bernat Cuní (LocalEchoes)
Bernat develops hyperlocal VR/AR avatars inspired by European cultural heritage. His project critiques standardized avatar design, fostering deeper social connections through localized digital identities.
Oliver Kruse (Looping)
Oliver draws inspiration from nature's aerodynamics, translating the maple seed's effortless flight into a large-scale flying sculpture. His project combines artistic vision with advanced computational modeling.
Dr. Kirell Benzi (HPC Data Symphonies)
Kirell transforms high-performance computing (HPC) logs into immersive WebVR visualizations. His work explores real-time data interaction through clustering algorithms and local language models, merging aesthetics and technology.
Merve Sahin (Merging Visions)
Merve integrates XR technologies with urban digital twins to create immersive visual narratives. Her work brings socio-cultural and ecological dimensions of urban environments to life. In addition to HLRS and MSC, this project is also a collaboration with the Salzburg Festival.

HLRS also hosted two artists as part of the S+T+ARTS AIR residency program in 2024.
