Understanding the Power of Persistence In the pursuit of our goals, we often encounter obstacles and setbacks that can make us question our abilities and the feasibility of our dreams. However, it is crucial to recognize the power of persistence and its ability to unlock our full potential and help us achieve our goals. In this subchapter, we will delve into the concept of persistence and understand how it can be harnessed to overcome challenges and reach new heights of success. Persistence is the unwavering commitment to pursuing our goals despite the difficulties we encounter along the way. It is the inner strength that keeps us going, even when the odds seem insurmountable. Understanding the power of persistence requires us to embrace the fact that setbacks and failures are part of the journey to success. Rather than viewing them as roadblocks, we should see them as opportunities for growth and learning. One key aspect of persistence is having a clear vision and unwavering belief in our goals. When we have a strong sense of purpose, it becomes easier to stay motivated and push through obstacles. By reminding ourselves of why we started in the first place, we can maintain focus and persevere even when the going gets tough. Another crucial element of persistence is developing resilience. Resilience allows us to bounce back from failures and setbacks, learning from our mistakes and adapting our strategies accordingly. It is the ability to keep going when others might give up, knowing that success often comes to those who persist and never lose sight of their dreams. One of the most valuable lessons in understanding the power of persistence is realizing that success is rarely achieved overnight. It requires consistent effort, determination, and a willingness to keep trying even when progress seems slow. By embracing the long-term mindset, we can break down our goals into smaller, more manageable steps and celebrate each milestone along the way.

Diving into art means the dissolution of boundaries between the artwork and its recipients: a relationship that is usually captured under the aquatic metaphor of immersion. Accompanying an exhibition that brings together new and historical, temporary and permanent immersive works of contemporary art at the Museum unter Tage and Situation Kunst in Bochum, this catalog asks about the critical potential of an artistic engagement with artificial atmospheres, augmented and virtual realities from the perspective of art and exhibition history as well as media studies. If immersion includes mental activation and thus re-emergence, it concomitantly opens new perspectives on our handling of social environments.
