Me.

Portrait of Nils Gallist N. Gallist

I'm a Tech Artist working where the performing arts meet real-time technology — virtual stages, immersive installations and digitally mediated theater.

As part of the artist collective minus.Eins I bring game engines, motion capture and mixed reality onto stages across Europe — and as Assistant Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria I research and teach these new forms of performance, from expanded animation to the Metaverse.
