SEA OF CLOUDS) is a place of interaction and exchange. It offers room for artistic workshops, serves as a spatial anchor for sharing information, and is, above all, a meeting point for the surrounding schools and neighborhoods. It is a temporary spatial installation in the heart of St. Pölten that emerged from a participative design project. It was preceded by a collective process that formed part of a Future Lab of the New Design University (NDU), the Kinderbeiratsklasse 3D of the Sport High School in St. Pölten, and the KinderKunstLabor. The design selected by a jury is the work of Hanna Beck-Tiefenbach and Sara Mayer. The exhibition contribution presents both a 1:1 detail of the realized installation (positioned in the garden of the Festival Headquarters) and the associated development process up to the naming of the installation (explained in the interior in the form of an exhibition).
