Depart (at)

DEPART is Leonhard Lass and Gregor Ladenhauf.Their core endeavor is the conception of poetic, audiovisual immersions. Deeply rooted in the digital, they explore the ritualistic character of algorithms. They work in a poetic tradition, by striving to subvert languages as symbolic systems in general. Through subtle manipulation of their specific grammars, intentional short-circuiting of their reference networks and slight shifts of perspective they aim to trigger internal landslides of ones consciousness. By employing generative processes and realtime simulation they construct hermetically “believable worlds”, which evoke a virtual immanence. They love surprises.
