XTREME

XTREME is a mixed reality project for arts and culture. Unlike virtual reality, which replaces reality, mixed reality expands it by combining digital and real-world elements. The aim of XTREME is to redefine how audiences experience and engage with artists and performers of all kinds, via a narrative journey that fuses music, poetry, objects and visuals.

MUNCH represents The City of Oslo in XTREME as one of 14 European partners. As part of the project, MUNCH has engaged two artists – one musician and one transdisciplinary artist to create prototype mixed-reality experiences, both within and outside the museum. Blending music, visual art, and performative elements, these experiences are designed for young adults, developed in collaboration with MUNCH Ung and young people in Oslo. It is one of the many ways MUNCH is exploring new ways for audiences to engage with art while also enhancing accessibility for a diverse audience.

By blending the virtual and physical, XTREME enables people to come together and enjoy a variety of mixed reality experiences, overcoming the most common barriers such as their geographic location or accessibility issues. The ambition with this project is to develop a human-centred mixed reality environment, broadening access to art and music.
