Artist residency programme

A multidisciplinary, hybrid residency bringing together an international cohort of artists and technologists.

May - October 2023

Immersive Assembly Vol 3 is an innovative artist development programme for early-career digital artists, producers and creators, supported by the Jerwood Developing Artists Fund and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music. A multi-disciplinary residency focused on learning, peer critique and developing new ideas/work inspired by immersive art & tech, bringing together a cohort of artists, technologists and cultural influencers to learn, share, network and play.

Immersive Assembly Vol 3: ‘Truth & Testimony’ will explore the new affordances immersive media offers for autonomous interrogation and interpretation of flows of information through Extended Reality (XR), and other hybrid encoded spaces.

Whether we are searching for information or creating content, websites and apps streamline our experiences, making it easy to produce and manipulate media and get the answers we want. As these applications also blur the boundaries between personal and global spaces, the ways in which we trust, verify and process their streams of content become more complex. Single-purpose media devices, like traditional cameras, can be more clearly recognised and understood as both creative devices and tools of documentation and surveillance. But where do aesthetics, senses and instincts come into play when one device can promise to find or produce anything?
