Art, meet the future.

Immersive Assembly Vol 4: ‘Dreams & Echoes’ is the fourth annual talent development programme from Mediale. It is a multi-disciplinary residency focusing on learning, peer critique and developing new ideas and collaborations in and around immersive art and technology.

The residency took place between May – November 2024 and supported six UK-based artists/studios to collaborate and develop proposals for immersive experiences. The cohort developed projects which invite us to explore the potential of immersive media in interrogating consciousness and enabling new interpretations of ‘reality’.

Digital Body Festival, founded by Alexander Whitley Dance Company and creatively produced by Mediale, celebrates developments in interactive and immersive technologies, which enable wildly new forms of physical experience, exploding the possible forms the moving body can take and opening up exciting possibilities for artists and audiences.

Reaching across multiple art forms, including dance, music, fashion and architecture, a new frontier of creative expression has emerged, which demands a radically different kind of stage.
