Hyperreality @ Villa Graziani

About the Open Call

PhygitArt combines exhibitions, performances, digital installations, sound, and participatory experiences within a hybrid (“phygital”) environment where audiences engage with both physical artworks and virtual or augmented content. The initiative is known for transforming cultural spaces into immersive creative environments that encourage interaction, inclusion, and experimentation. Previous editions featured QR-based digital extensions, multimedia installations, live performances, and interdisciplinary collaborations connecting visual arts, music, and technology. The 2026 “Hyperreality” theme draws on ideas surrounding simulated realities, digital identities, immersive media, XR technologies, and the increasing overlap between physical and virtual existence.
