Wuppertal's Art Scene Gets Retro-Futuristic Boost

Wuppertal's art scene is set to receive a unique boost with the launch of 'RetroVision', a creative project that combines old technology with contemporary art. Initiated and funded by local artists and cultural organizations, with support from municipal cultural grants and private sponsors, this innovative venture is transforming old TV tubes into captivating art installations.

The project has been made possible by generous donors who provided functional old TVs for this novel art project. Custom-made supports are currently being crafted to display these retro screens in a way that celebrates their unique charm. Once completed, these installations will offer viewers unusual perspectives and experiences of old technology, giving it a new lease of life.

The artworks will be exhibited at several iconic locations around Wuppertal. The Historical City Hall, the Visiodrom, and the town hall's light court will all play host to these retro-futuristic displays. But the pièce de résistance is the live feed from the Green Zoo Wuppertal, which will be transmitted to the 'RetroVision' installations via a state-of-the-art fiber optic connection. This will allow viewers to enjoy real-time glimpses of the zoo's inhabitants, all through the lens of vintage technology.

The 'RetroVision' project is set to transform Wuppertal's cultural landscape, offering residents and visitors alike a fresh, innovative take on old technology. By combining art, history, and cutting-edge connectivity, this project is a testament to the power of community collaboration and creative thinking.
