Meet in real, in web, in world

The focus of the Milan Garden will be on VR and immersive storytelling. The Garden will be organized during the MEET’s Fest in real, in web, in world, as a journey for the exploration of immersive realities and hybrid scenarios through VR exhibitions, installations and laboratories. MEET will present the variegated and multifaceted ecosystem of immersive realities with a critical and international profile. The MEET Garden at Ars Electronica includes:

Synthetic Corpo-Reality, a virtual exhibition curated by Julie Walsh – Finissage.

It includes 12 digital artworks at the Mozilla Hubs MEET space. The works by international artists focus on the body as a vehicle to discuss a variety of themes: gender politics, personal data collection, and the search for identity. The Finissage will be the occasion to visit artworks including site-specific immersive installations, photography and video, sculptures, a GIF, and deepfake AI technology.

Meeting in VR is a hybrid VR installation that allows interaction between people from different locations through virtual spaces and devices.

Moving in VR! with Ariella Vidach is a workshop and a virtual participatory choreography and Dance the Distance performance led by choreographer Ariella Vidach. Participants are guided through the discovery of movement in VR from a remote location. The finale is a VR participatory choreography and the Dance the Distance performance.
