Individual experiences in virtual reality leave an increasing amount of room for collective and participatory projects, experienced through avatars and in shared experiences. Artists thus turn towards the creation of immersive works where the “others” are integrated and involved in the projects. Through the example of works featured in the 25th Geneva International Film Festival, this roundtable discussion addresses the various levels of interactivity and participatory construction as well as the added value of this sensory interaction.
5.30pm - 6.45pm
