VYVYT - Lilli Berger

Innovation often comes in unexpected und unusual forms. Lilli Berger combined her experience as filmmaker with her training as funeral director to innovate the way we deal with giving our loved ones their final farewell. Her company VYVYT develops virtual 3D memory spaces, especially designed for the context of mourning, helping people to come to terms with their loss. VYVYT demonstrates how Media Arts cannot only be used for entertainment but also for helping with existential problems and crisis. Lilli will present her unusual business concept and explain how she took it from first idea to functioning company.
