Last week at SXSW2025, Martijn de Waal joined Tamara Shogaolu and Caspar Sonnen on the ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ: ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ panel, organized by International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
The discussion explored two main questions:
– How can tech art surprise and connect us to physical reality, instead of just feeding us endless algorithmic distractions?
– How can radical immersive and interactive experiences reach audiences and grow into new artforms?
During the panel, IDFA DocLab presented the findings of its R&D program in collaboration with MIT and XR artists all over the world.
