With farvel, Jennifer Beitel, Markus Traber and Lilli Berger have spent two years developing virtual 3D memory spaces and staging various events in Virtual Space. The team conducted research during the funding period up to and including September 2022 with the help of start-up grants from the Berlin University of the Arts and the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf. Two companies emerged from the research results and start-up experiences:

Lilli Berger with www.vyvyt.com
P.S. All rooms, including Mandy's memory room, will continue to be available under farvel.space and will be jointly managed by us.
