MyWorld - Strength in Places
Watershed is excited to be a partner in MyWorld, a project led by the University of Bristol that will celebrate the West of England's reputation as an international trailblazer in creative technology and screen-based media.Harry is fascinated by what combinations of art and technology are required for successful immersive experiences that are scintillating macrocosms of beguiling delight!
