This panel discussion brings together artists who collaborated within the Horizon Europe XR project, SHARESPACE. Each artist has created innovative projects for the Deep Space 8K environment exploring collaboration between humans and avatars in shared hybrid spaces, blending physical and virtual realities. The conversation will center on XR art, shedding light on the unique artistic concepts and creative processes that lie behind each artist’s work.
