To register, contact ateliers@ada-x.org before February 24th
This online workshop aims to introduce the participants to a creative and critical process in 3 steps:
- Content creation: 360 video capture and simple video editing techniques; creation and remixing of simple 3d models using Blender (with Anna Eye).
- WebVR integration: bring 360 video and 3d models into a web based shared virtual space using the open source platform Mozilla Hubs
- Collaborative practice during Covid-19: join the class Discord server to create one virtual room together in Mozilla Hubs (alternatively, we can also have one “lobby” room which connects all participant’s rooms in one virtual space)
* Although the platforms used are accessible via a virtual reality headset, the training is designed without this device. The only equipment required is a computer and a stable internet connection, the technical specifications of which you will have to validate with the center when you register.
In the context of the pandemic, this workshop will highlight how artists can create immersive spaces which are compatible both for computer screen viewing and for VR headsets when available. Mozilla Hubs uses WebVR (also called WebXR and social VR) and is designed for users and makers to easily share and meet with others in a space of their own making, as a direct spatial experience.
Participants will:
- Discover a variety of artistic practices in video, 3d and VR, WebVR and multimedia presentations that are self-critical about their own use of technologies
- Explore the use of 360 video and 3d for VR and WebVR in order to create a hybrid and experimental presentation;
- Develop a new project or adapt elements of an existing project integrating these new techniques;
- Collaborate remotely with the group (with the option of inviting friends / artists at the end of the workshop)
