I've been an active member of this community since 2021. We were first invited by Maria to show our award-winning world 'Awaken the Giants' in Altspace. Unfortunately, our world disappeared before the actual convening of the show. Fast forward to 2023 and we were nominated again in the category of art experiences. This year, I am returning as a member of the esteemed jury, a privilege that makes me feel very special :) I get to hang out with my fellow jury members Kent Bye and Tokkio. We will be presiding over the Best Art Experience Category.
Throughout these last five years, I've been privy to VR's evolution watching and participating with joy as social VR evolved from small group gatherings in basic rendered VR worlds to flat out comedy club productions, theatrical plays, live-stage singing performances, documentaries, 360 films and everything else in between. What's been extremely fascinating are the cinematic stories created by Joe Hunting and others. One show featured a touching story
The projects this year have hit an even higher standard pushing the artistic boundaries of what VR worlds particularly in VRCHAT and RESONITE is able to do.
