Still: Swarm by Fabian&Fred (Poland, Hungary, Germany)
This year’s first physical edition of CPH:DOX Inter:Active Symposium, curated and hosted by Mark Atkin, who is also the Head of Studies of CPH:LAB and curator of the CPH:DOX Inter:Active Exhibition, will use the occasion to introduce the projects developed by CPH:LAB to consider the cultural landscape into which these works will emerge.
The Inter:Active Symposium 2022 will bring together artists, curators, funders and distributors across film, games, theater, fine art and XR, to discuss where we are headed and how to collaborate to get there together.
The event will take place on March 28, 2022 15:00 – 18:00 CET at CPH:DOX’s festival center at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, and will be available to all accredited guests and ticket holders. A live-stream will be available on our website www.cphdox.dk to online accredited guests.
“We are at a critical juncture: We haven’t gathered, since XR has entered into hyperdrive; the foundations of the metaverse have been laid; interactions with AI have become commonplace, and an alternative art market has been established on the blockchain. The pace of change has been rapid and the influence this will have on our industry is unprecedented,” writer organisers.
Exploring the subject of ‘transformations,’ the nine CPH:LAB immersive documentary projects went through an intense, 6-month development programme in 2021/2022. The training took place as a series of continuous online workshops, individual mentoring and peer-to-peer sessions that started in October 2021. Click here for details of all projects.
New FORUM DES IMAGES award will be introduced for immersive projects
CPH:LAB also announces a new partnership with Forum Des Images, New Images Festival, which will give three awards to this year’s CPH:LAB projects.The main award consists of an invitation to participate in the XR Financing Market 2022 of the NewImages Festival, a leading European co-production and financing market, entirely dedicated to original immersive artworks. Two more CPH:LAB projects will receive accreditations for the 5th edition of the NewImages Festival that will take place in Paris on June 8-12, 2022.
Elie Levasseur, Head of Newimages XR Market comments: “We believe that building a European distribution and co-production market for immersive art is a necessity. This year, Newimages continues to pioneer in the European XR industry by opening an new XR ART FAIR with the opportunity for the immersive artists to meet with international Museums and cultural venues. We’re thrilled to team up with CPH:LAB to continue our mission of fostering the creativity of the finest artists and developers in the world.”
