Explore how novel forms of virtual acting and performance are deployed in the groundbreaking new VR adventure „The Vortex Cinema“ by Berlin-based studio Anotherworld VR, premiering at this years’ SXSW official XR Experience Competition. Director Max Sacker and lead actor Christian Stotz will be in conversation with Hilary Knight (Senior Consultant at AEA, formerly Director of Digital at Tate) and sharing insights into the creation process of this time-travelling, genre bending experience. We’ll be asking the big questions: will AI steal the spotlight from human actors? How does it feel for a performer to work with virtual tools? And what are the actual benefits of working with immersive media in the creative journey? Join us for an inspiring chat!
