#STORY_X is back next week, Thursday 12th December, with creative duo #Celine_Daemen and #Aron_Fels from Dutch XR outfit #Studio_Nergens. We'll be exploring #POETIC_INTERACTIVE_VR through the lens of their award-winning project #SONGS_FOR_A_PASSERBY, which picked up the Venice Immersive Grand Prize 2023. ❤️🔥 #JOIN_US as we explore: ⚡️ Creative journeys into XR | 🔧 Transferable skills for the XR world | 🚀 Transmedia production | 🔄 6 degrees of freedom VR | 🌊 Translating the ethereal |🕹️ The making process | 👥 Creative teams for VR projects | 🌍 The Dutch XR ecosystem |💰 Funding and distribution models |📚 Tools for learning ... and MORE! #SONGS_FOR_A_PASSERBY (2023) is a 6DoF Free Roaming VR experience where the participant autonomously walks through a musical #dreamscape shown in a VR headset. The experience allows the viewer to step outside reality for a moment and to explore a sense of self. As a puppeteer of their own body they will enter a poetic space where the melancholy question arises: “is this me passing by moments, or is it rather the moments passing by me?" 📅 WHEN: Thursday 12 December ⌚ TIME: 1230 - 2pm Irish time 📍 WHERE: Online on Zoom (registration required) 🫰 COST: On us, courtesy of Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland! #InteractiveVR #NextGenerationStorytelling #FutureLens #XRArt #ImmersiveIreland #STORYX

If you happen to be available tomorrow morning and are interested in storytelling, art and technology I highly recommend joining this workshop we have with the very brilliant Karen Palmer. Karen won the coveted XR Experience Competition at SXSW 2023 and received honorary mention Prix Award ARS Electronica 2024 with her film Consensus Gentium. Known for creating visionary, interactive experiences that combine neuroscience, game design, and immersive filmmaking, her projects tackle critical issues such as AI bias, surveillance, and societal inequality.

If you're into art installation / XR and want to see a deeply moving and technically brilliant piece of work ... then go see #MAMMARY_MOUNTAIN in Leitrim. Launching this Thursday and presented by the three powerhouses who were the main creative forces behind it - Dr Tara Baoth Mooney, Maf’j Alvarez and Professor Camille Baker - the work takes you on a performative journey in VR that explores dis-ease within the body through experiences of breast cancer. Lovingly crafted, thoughtful and brave. The essential components of great work. #SociallyEngagedVr #XRforGood #XRandHealth
