NOW is unprecedented global warming, hyper-connectivity and the race for artificial general intelligence. NOW is intersectionality, conflict and mass extinction. NOW is standing together, establishing friendships and extending generosity to one another. NOW is healing and regeneration. It is an age of facts and fictions, hope and sorrow, inevitable change and possible transformation. 


We invite you to join us for a festival of art and storytelling, orbiting around a NOW that is as much, as fast and as full of potential as ever before. A vibrant display of multi-screen installations, virtual, augmented and interactive experiences and performances that push the boundaries of immersive media.


Each of our pieces raises its own urgent questions, exploring the realms of four major contexts - Earth, Humans, Technosphere, Legacies - in a celebration of immersive art and storytelling that welcomes everyone to realise and rethink the defining issues of NOW and to collectively imagine a more radiant and respectful future.
