Hier, wo wir sind

Flörsheim, Lucas LaRochelle

The goal is to facilitate alternative perspectives to the dominant narratives of our everyday lives. With the help of AI, LaRochelle’s archive is transformed into imaginative and generative sources that focus on a utopian and future-oriented coexistence. For the presentation in Flörsheim, the unique space under the Opel Bridge will become the stage for an operatic performance based on AI-generated texts, which will be captured and recorded using 3D scanning tools during the opening—thus remaining on site as a digital remnant of the performance.

“Here, Where We Are – Virtual Art Around the Corner” is a project by the WAVA Collective, initiated by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain as part of World Design Capital 2026. In seven municipalities of the Main-Taunus district—Bad Soden, Eppstein, Flörsheim, Hattersheim, Hochheim, Hofheim, and Kelkheim—eight site-specific AR installations by eleven international artists expand the public space. Through the free WAVA app, available for iOS and Android, familiar places are made accessible as artistic sites around the clock: historical references come to light, and new narratives emerge. The project examines public space in the hybrid age and explores how digital interventions expand our perception of places.
