Why?
At Future Artists we believe that understanding theatre, art and storytelling fused with computer science, sociology and an understanding of spatial design are just a few of the key ingredients needed to make the perfect Virtual Reality experience – but as this art form is so new, we need to train the chefs to work together and to explore an ever-expanding pantry of creative tools.
What?
Production groups will either make a game, or create a piece of virtual reality cinema – using parts of the book, Ready Player One, as inspiration to create their own narratives. The lab also encourages a transmedia approach to storytelling, combining the physical book or audio book, with VR / AR and the use of space.
Who?
The Labs are designed with creative industry professionals in mind and for students studying Tech / Art / Film /Performance related subjects with an interest in VR/AR – No computer coding experience is required, but an openness and willingness to learn something new, most certainly is.
