Speaker

Olie Kay
Olie is Associate Creative Director at All Seeing Eye - a creative studio that combines technology and art to create immersive experiences and tell stories. allseeing.coThe experience surrounds the audience with a physical set, which in conjunction with virtual reality visuals, spatialised audio and haptic feedback completely transports audiences to the skies above the Möhne dam in 1943, aboard an Avro Lancaster bomber.
Olie Kay from All Seeing Eye will present an informal talk around the process of researching and prototyping the work thus far, and share some of the remaining questions and ambitions for the project. Audiences will also have the opportunity to experience the prototype after the talk.
This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.
