Cyclorama Screening Description:
Representing a diverse range of artists, including works from Italy, Thailand, Columbia, France, Australia, and across the U.S., this internationally sourced selection of contemporary immersive media features a wide range of new and emerging voices in art and technology.
Incorporating experimental computer animation techniques, creative coding, photogrammetry, 360-degree video, and a range of other immersive technology techniques, each work speaks to the unique strengths and multi-sensory potential of the Cyclorama and the environment of the Cube. This cinema-in-the-round experience invites viewers to explore new forms of narrative and multi-faceted technological experiments in a fully immersive and visually encompassing four-projection environment.
