1. Fourth VR: Indigenous virtual reality practice

   Indigenous creators are currently using virtual reality (VR) tools, techniques and workflows in wide-ranging geographical locations and across multiple VR formats. Their radical adaptation of this new technology folds together cultural traditions and VR`s unique audiovisual configurations to resist dominant, particularly colonial frameworks.

   Withing this context, we ask how VR is being used to create space and capacity for indigenous creatives to tell theis stories and how do indigenous creatives negotiate Eurocentric modes of production and distribution? 

   To answer these questions, our Fourth VR database provides a snapshot of indigenous VR works. By draving on three case studies drawn from the database- The Hunt(2018), Future Dreaming (2019) and Crow: The Legend (2018)- As well as the wider patterns emergin across the database, it is possible to see and indigenous centered VR productions framework.

3. The Hollow Reach

   The Hollow Reach is a choice-based virtual reality (VR) experience built on becoming posthuman to overcome the trauma of emotional and physical loss. What at first appears to be an adventure game turns out to be an exploration of psychological and physical recovery, not a retreat from reality but a coming to terms with it. In this interactive puzzle game, virtual reality offers a space of recuperation through adaptation and prostheses. In this piece, the player progresses from the human to the post-human only by letting go of their notions of what is and is not under their control to encounter a life augmented and transformed by the digital.

5. Platform Collaboration, Creativity and Determinism in Virtual Reality (VR): An artist paper the making of The Key To Time, a work for VR, domes and CAVEs.

   Addressing conference themes of platform utopias, determinisms, identities, collaborations and modes, this conversational presentation discusses ways that concepts of time, space and narrative are expanded in The Key To Time https://unknownterritories.org/keytotime/. The Key To Time is a surreal and lyrical work for immersive, cinematic art experiences such as domes and 360 degree cinemas as well as for individual viewing on head-mounted virtual reality devices. Bridging 1920's silent film and virtual reality, the surface story draws viewers into a playful exploration of genre, identity and desire. In doing so, the work unravels narrative underpinnings of myths, genres, and technological constructs of time.

6. E-Literature Bound to Platforms: Exploring Opportunities for Narrative Connection and Disconnection

   Recent pandemic-imposed restrictions on face-to-face exchanges have required that we find new ways to connect, often through networked platforms. Without classrooms, labs, and conference environments, ELO has embraced platforms such as Discord and Zoom for communication, and has also looked to online platforms for collaborative writing.

   As we contemplate how platforms can keep us connected with our work and with each other, as well as the ways they may limit our interactions and thus arguably “disconnect” us, this panel explores what happens when e-literature—as research, practice, and field—is bound to platforms. E-literature scholarship and creative works that do not have the opportunity for in-person exchange provoke re-examinations of platform affordances and limitations. We ask: how may platforms may shape e-literature through their pre-set parameters, interfaces, and infrastructures? What are the promises and perils of platform-specific e-literature? Can we bring attention to platform through works of e-literature? Led by Marjorie C. Luesebrink, five speakers will answer these questions.

7. Epidemiology and Spatial Narrative : Scaffolds under the Pandemic - Confinement Spaces and Existential E-Narrative

   were forced into situations somewhere between Brazil and The Matrix, in which workspaces become the world. Also this evinced Paul Virilio’s notion of technological acceleration while confining to one spot (ZOOM!) undifferentiates the technologically enabled person without disabilities and the technologically au and the technologically augmented paraplegic (The Third interval).
   These existential effects led to my creation of a visualyl narratological immersive experience entitled Confinement Spaces, which consisted of 3D scans and renders of the UAE quotidian landscape, first of places immediately around me. But as I was able to expand my tr avels, more spaces were scanned in, creating a form of “narrative molecule” based on experience in the 1990’s with designer Roy Stringer’s Navihedron interface regime.
   In Confinement Spaces, six months of expanding explorations into iconic spaces of the United Arab Emirates as an allegory of confinement in space and the fracturing of reality as depicted by the glitches in the 3D scans.

8. Tenure Track: A Critical Simulation Game

   Tenure Track is a postmodernist critique of 21st-century academia in the form of a simulation game. In the vein of satirical games like Cow Clicker—a product of “carpentry,” or a strategy for creating philosophical, creative work, according to its designer Ian Bogost—Tenure Track also borrows game mechanics from popular puzzle simulators like Papers, Please, merging the finite potentiality of a critical text with the lightheartedness and non-prescriptiveness of play. Additionally, the simulation game as a genre harkens back to philosophical toys of the 19th century, such as the thaumatrope, the purpose of which was demystification through wonderment. The proposed poster would include imagery from the game, as well as links to interactive components (gameplay footage, demos) and brief descriptions of the mechanics and concept of the game.

9. Apart Samen

   Deze VR-ervaring van schrijver-muzikant Micha Hamel en maker Demian Albers voelt zowel groots als intiem. Groots omdat je in deze zogenaamde ‘room scale VR’ vrij rond kunt wandelen door de driedimensionale tekeningen, op het ritme van de woorden. Intiem omdat je in Apart Samen letterlijk in een liefdesrelatie duikt die op de klippen dreigt te lopen. Door de speels getekende tableaus en de intuïtieve interactie beleef je de jeugdherinneringen van de geliefden die tegenpolen blijken. Als volwassenen hebben ze hun eigen gevoelens en verwachtingen, maar welke kies jij om aan te horen of te onderzoeken? Door deze keuzevrijheid en het feit dat je nooit alles kunt meekrijgen, wordt hun liefdesgeschiedenis voor de bezoeker een subjectieve én intuïtieve ervaring.
