Together with Anna-Carolin Weber, he forms the artistic direction of VR Dance Club, developing mixed reality performances that explore asymmetric interaction, embodied technology, and collective experience.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHis artistic practice is rooted in a long engagement with digital culture, community, and the question of how technology shapes human encounter. He brings to VR Dance Club a background in interaction design, systems thinking, and the design of participatory formats \u2014 asking how game mechanics and choreographic thinking can generate new forms of connection between people.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHe holds an M.A. in Media Studies and is a certified Systemic Coach trained at the University of Cologne. He has lectured in higher education for over seven years and is a co-founder of the Art of Coding initiative, which brought the Demoscene onto UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.<br \/>\n<\/sr7-txt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-txt id=\"SR7_11_1-19-2\" class=\"sr7-layer\">Tobias Kopka (he\/him)<\/sr7-txt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-txt id=\"SR7_11_1-19-4\" class=\"sr7-layer\">Artistic Direction, Experience Design<\/sr7-txt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/sr7-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-slide id=\"SR7_11_1-22\" data-key=\"22\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/sr7-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/sr7-content>\n\t\t\t\t\t<image_lists style=\"display:none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-src=\"\/\/vrdanceclub.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/0X7A6245-Kopie_Tobias-min-scaled.jpg\" data-libid=\"7215\" data-lib=\"medialibrary\" title=\"0X7A6245 Kopie_Tobias-min\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" data-dbsrc=\"Ly92cmRhbmNlY2x1Yi5kZS93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyNC8wNy8wWDdBNjI0NS1Lb3BpZV9Ub2JpYXMtbWluLXNjYWxlZC5qcGc=\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/image_lists>\n\t\t\t\t<\/sr7-module>\n\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\tSR7.PMH ??={}; SR7.PMH[\"SR7_11_1\"] = {cn:100,state:false,fn: function() { if (_tpt!==undefined && _tpt.prepareModuleHeight !== undefined) {  _tpt.prepareModuleHeight({id:\"SR7_11_1\",el:[900,900,768,960,720],type:'hero',shdw:'0',gh:[900,900,768,960,720],gw:[1240,1240,1024,778,480],vpt:['-100px&#039;,&#039;-100px&#039;,&#039;-100px&#039;,&#039;-100px&#039;,&#039;-100px'],size:{fullWidth:false, fullHeight:false},mh:'0',onh:0,onw:0,bg:{color:'{\"orig\":\"transparent\",\"type\":\"solid\",\"string\":\"transparent\"}'}});   SR7.PMH[\"SR7_11_1\"].state=true;} else if(SR7.PMH[\"SR7_11_1\"].cn-->0)\tsetTimeout( SR7.PMH[\"SR7_11_1\"].fn,19);}};SR7.PMH[\"SR7_11_1\" ].fn();\n\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tobias Kopka is an artist and experience designer working at the intersection of game design, virtual reality, and participatory performance.
