  • Summary

  • People often see immersive technology as a way of entering new worlds to experience things that they would never normally get to do in real life. While there is certainly much out there to delight and entertain, immersive stories can also enable a glimpse into someone else's world or provoke new perspectives on social or political issues. This week we look at the issue-based work of two XR makers: Francesca Panetta, who led the Guardian’s VR studio and more recently has been dabbling in deep fake technology; and Karen Palmer, whose body of recent immersive work deals with race, ethics and AI to challenge our own implicit biases.With Francesca Panetta and Karen PalmerFrancesca Panetta, Artist & Journalisthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/francesca-panetta-895b457/Karen Palmer, Artisthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/storytellerfromthefuture/Credits:Presenter: Shehani FernandoProducers: Chris Hogg & Shehani Fernando Assistant Producer: Max BowerExecutive Producer: Will SaundersEditing and sound design: John Wakefield & Matt McGuinnessThe title track is ‘A Thousand Years’ by David A MolinaOther music: ‘Allston Night Owl’ by Blue Dot Sessions courtesy of Free Music ArchiveAdditional music by Neil CullenClips from ‘In Event of Moon Disaster’, courtesy of MIT Centre for Advanced Virtuality Clips from ‘6x9’ and ‘Sea Prayer’, Copyright Guardian News & Media Ltd 2020Clips from ‘Riot’ courtesy of Karen Palmer.Resources: In Event of Moon Disaster - co-directed by Francesca Panetta & Halsey Bergund, an MIT Centre for Advanced Virtuality Productionhttps://moondisaster.org/6x9: A virtual experience of solitary confinement https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2016/apr/27/6x9-a-virtual-experience-of-solitary-confinementExperience all The Guardian’s 360 contenthttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa_1MA_DEorE_Qwa-4uURxeOvRxYfqA-6Karen Palmerhttp://karenpalmer.uk/Thoughtworks Artshttps://thoughtworksarts.io/Immerse NewsCreative discussion of emerging non fiction storytelling (and great newsletter)https://immerse.news/MIT’s Docubase of new forms of documentary storytellinghttps://docubase.mit.edu/VR Non-fiction - A Mediographyhttp://vrdocumentaryencounters.co.uk/vrmediography/Virtual Reality: Immersive Documentary Encounters research projecthttp://vrdocumentaryencounters.co.uk/Canny AIhttps://www.cannyai.com/Respeecher - Voice cloninghttps://www.respeecher.com/ Hosted on Acast.
