> VR Writing Residency
VR Arles Festival and the Institut français have come together for the third year to propose a writing residency dedicated to creating immersive experiences between August 23 and 28 in Arles, France.
This residency aims to enable authors and artists to develop an innovative virtual-reality writing project in French, deepen their knowledge regarding the creative and narrative potential of immersive technologies, help them to understand virtual-reality design and its technical constraints, and facilitate the convergence of different art forms.
During the week, residents will be engaging in masterclasses with professionals from the world of virtual reality, visual arts, sound design and life performance. Afternoons will be dedicated to one-on-ones with professionals and open reflexions.
