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.
Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing—and joyfully participating in—the evolution of VR. What began as intimate gatherings in rudimentary virtual worlds has blossomed into full-fledged comedy club productions, theatrical plays, live singing performances, documentaries, 360° films, and everything in between. One of the most fascinating developments has been the rise of cinematic storytelling in VR, especially the work of Joe Hunting and others.
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.
