Impressions from Venice Biennale and the Rise of the Immersive Art Experience

Art has the power to shift our perspectives and occasionally to immerse us so deeply that we forget our surroundings entirely. My recent trip to the Venice Biennale was a reminder of this power – a journey not just across borders but into realms of creativity I hadn’t fully embraced until now. Almost three years after moving to Austria, I finally had the opportunity to visit Venice. The relative proximity and the ease of train travel made it an ideal destination. While I’d visited Italy before, this was my first time in Venice and it felt fitting that my first experience of the city would be through the lens of the Biennale.
