Creative VR Barcelona #1

UPDATED: Talks and workshops in English BUT all the speakers are fluent in castellano for your Q&A. Best of both worlds!

A group for making realities that make a difference ! Calling for artists, makers, hackers, coders, to come & play with the language of VR, taking it to places it won't go by itself.

Places like: Altered perceptions // Human non-human entanglements // Glitched worlds // Playful realities // Bend space times // Embodiments // Neo-sorcellery // Queer // Higher states of consciousness // Speculative fabulations // Artistic synaesthesia // Gesamtkunstwerk // Umwelts of invertebrae and octopuses.

No technical/specifc skills needed, creativity and inspirations will do the job much better than any software!

// Will there be free beers ?

No. We wanted to keep this sponsor free for now, and therefore no free booze. Nowadays free has not much to do with free anymore.

So you can bring your own no problem and we will have a potluck to go get some beers and snacks from the nearby alimentacio. Just like we do with the family and amigos.
