This coming October 6-9, 2016, the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry in partnership with the 2016 VIA Festival, will be hosting “WEIRD REALITY: Head Mounted Art && Code”, a conference concerned with new and independent visions for virtual, augmented and mixed realities. It aims to showcase emerging voices, creative approaches, marginalized perspectives, and critical positions on virtual, augmented, and mixed realities (VR/AR/MR) that depart from typical corporate fantasies and other normative media.
WEIRD REALITY will include artist lectures, speed presentations, workshops, an interactive exhibition, panels, and an audience-driven unconference. If you’d like to participate as a presenter of some kind, please let them know what you have in mind by checking the Notification Signup and Call for Participation.
WEIRD REALITY thrives to create a welcoming event that addresses topics that aren’t being discussed elsewhere, so your thoughts, advice, and suggestions on how to make WEIRD REALITY better are also appreciated.
