Next stop: Scholar-artist in residence @ Future Media Theaters

I’m honored to have been selected as scholar-artist in residency at the Future Media Theaters at the University of Skövde. I will be in Skövde during the month of May sharing knowledge and expertise with one of the researchers that have heavily influenced my work, and one of my favourite persons in the world, Prof. Rebecca Rouse.

During the residency, I will collaborate on the development of the Future Media Theaters immersive 360-degree VR cave platform, helping to create a workflow for porting VR artworks designed for HMD interfaces to this room-scale system.

I will also share methods of VR filmmaking and interactive narrative design with both the GAME Lab Research Group, and with the University of Skövde Game Development students in the Interactive Performance and Games course, and visit Future Media Theaters partner organisation Folkteatern Gothenburg to consult on the development of their VR theater initiative.

Stay tuned for the outcomes!
