Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you to those who joined this newsletter for this first issue. Welcome :)

I will be sending out roughly quarterly updates of this letter, except if there is no news to share. Thank you for your interest, and feel free to reply to this e-mail if you feel like so, I’ll be reading your answers too. Here is a little round up of personal projects and freelance projects from this spring 🌸

🌸 Imaginary Line 2022

In late January 2022 Celestial Reactors was ported to Meta Quest headsets and shown at Imaginary Line at Contact Tokyo - the night club has been turned into an exhibition space for a week, and a selection of works curated by Jackson Kaki was shown within the venue’s space.

🌸 FACT Together 2022 : SWARM prototype 4

A new version of SWARM, our video game and live-av project with the musician GLOR1A has been developed during the FACT Together residency and is available to play online!

🌸 Misc.

  • Photophobia Immersion : I has the pleasure to work with the Brasilian Berlin-based artist Sanni Est on a VR experience to go with her latest album release! It has been shown during an exhibition at Kampnagel Hamburg, and you can read more about this project on my blog.

  • I joined the team at Acuiferal this spring, based in Mexico, who are working on a VR experience about the water ecosystems of the Cenotes in Yucatan. I’m looking forward to share the final result of this collaboration soon :)

  • Also, last but not least, you can have a look at a few posters I designed for the AMAZE.SPACE virtual exhibition :)

That’s pretty much it! :)

Cheers,

alpha
