Artistic Research in VR
14th - 16th March
Host: Lusófona University (Lisbon, Portugal)
This seminar will invite participants to experience VR art pieces and debate them with their creators. It will look into immersive storytelling techniques and allow the participants to present their (early) ideas for developing an artistic XR experience. A technical-creative team will prototype and storyboard the idea into a proof of concept (both cinematic and interactive VR) in Gravity Sketch, Quill and Unity. A final open discussion will prepare the next research steps.
Film and Media Research Perspectives
24th - 26th April
Host: IADT (Dublin, Ireland)
One day of this seminar brings the participants to the IADT-hosted conference on comedy, 'Why So Serious?'. The second day is dedicated to workshops and training on artistic research, including methodology and sources, and broader knowledge including intellectual property and data management. The final day has a focus on participant presentations and feedback.
Neurocinematics
May
Host: BFM/ Tallinn University
In this seminar Neurocinematic experts and established filmmakers Pia Tikka and Elen Lotman will introduce the cutting-edge world of bringing film and neuroscience together. This will help participants understand how audiovisual media affects the brain and how this, in turn, can affect filmmaking practices. A more detailed overview of the seminar structure will be made available on the website in the near future. Additional information here.
The events will happen at Central European Time
