Can VR touch something deeper in us? Does it allow us to express something new, or experience ourselves and our world in a different way? Burning questions for a panel on VR.

Let's go back to the future! Just like last year, we have millions of questions about AI and VR. The strike in Hollywood proved that people in the film industry are concerned about the evolution. Will AI take over the world? Is our future safe in the hands of technology? And what about animation and VR? Enough questions already for an in-depth panel talk with Avinash Changa, Gabey Tjon a Tham and Emilia Sänchez Chiquetti, moderated by curator, transmedia artist and futurologist Victorine van Alphen.

In the field of VR, everything seems possible these days. It has already gone further than we had ever imagined. The VR projects selected for Kaboom Festival again and again show how VR can transform us and our cultural experience. For some, dystopian doom images emerge, others enjoy the fact that technology has given creatives so much to use. It's a big mystery where VR will stand in let's say 25 years, but at Kaboom we always like to predict the future!

This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2024
