The Hochschule of Kaiserlautern has awarded the Düsseldorf artist Leon Löwentraut a lectureship in the Virtual Design course on "Digital Presentation of Art" for the current winter semester.

Leon Löwentraut is the shooting star of the art scene and gives spectacular vernissages in museums and galleries in Singapore, New York, St. Petersburg, Florence, Venice, Vienna, Zurich and Düsseldorf, among other places.

Now he is developing the "Virtual Design" course in his hometown of Kaiserslautern together with university professors Christian Schmachtenberg and Matthias Pfaff. The artist belongs to the same generation as the students, and that is precisely why it is something very special that he passes on his experience to the students on an equal basis. Leon Löwentraut says of himself that he himself wants to learn a lot by meeting the students, and this makes the art star very likeable.

The course will be devoted to the following topics:

• How will people experience art exhibitions in the future?
• How can digital technologies help to make the exhibition experience more immersive?
• more immersive?
• How can traditional and analogue art be expanded in the digital space?
• How do digital realities and artistic creation interact in the real world?
