In this Lunchtime Talk, we'll be joined by researcher and maker of immersive media, Julia Scott-Stevenson.
Julia will discuss research and creative practice findings from her study on how collectively interacting with immersive artworks might influence our sense of agency and how we perceive the climate crisis.
The first creative output from the project was Collective Visions, a collaborative, interactive generative AI experience in which audiences collectively generated their hoped-for climate futures and built a growing collage during Climate Action Week Sydney. Her current prototype project, Future Echoes, is a collaborative, interactive, mixed reality documentary experience. In this talk Julia will also discuss the journey the project has taken into and then away from AI tools.
