In this Lunchtime Talk, we'll be joined by researcher and maker of immersive media, Julia Scott-Stevenson.
Julia will share research and creative practice findings from her research project on: how might collectively engaging with immersive artworks inform our perception of climate crisis and our feelings of agency?
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.
