For our third residency open call, artists, designers, 3D modelers, illustrators, directors, writers, photographers, sound designers, creative coders, and (web) developers to join the co-creation of a new XR experience. Through a hybrid format, this collective residency, starting online and continuing during the summer months of 2024 at V2_ Lab in Rotterdam (NL), we push the boundaries of the co-creation in the field of XR.

Binary Deconstruction is an immersive art installation by Calin Segal that examines the intricate interplay between personal data, tangible artifacts, and the immersive domain of extended realities.

EXPECTING FORWARD is a virtual reality experience directly influenced by the war in Ukraine. The purpose is to transmit a feeling of total uncertainty and uncertain future typical of a post-apocalyptic world.

The Distraction 5 is a speculative digitally fabricated boy band installation by Studio Comrades (Nicol Colga & Edith Dingemans).

TULPENMANIA is a prototype game experience about digital identities by Rebecca Merlic.

What a Mess is an installation that seeks to explore the untapped narrative potential of the urban fabric, with an approach nestled between the practices of plein-air painting, MR interventions and locative arts.

The Collective Algorithm of Care is the immersive experience of a participatory algorithm at work. The algorithm is learning care: recognized in intra-action and measured through heat.

Leon van Oldenborgh is an artist with a background in game and interaction design.

Test_Lab: Realities in Transition presented the results of the 2023 Realities in Transition residencies. The projects were presented live, and the public was invited to “test” the artworks in a hands-on way.
