Immersive Assembly Vol. 4: Dreams & Echoes

Immersive Assembly Vol 4: ‘Dreams & Echoes’ is the fourth annual talent development programme from Mediale. It is a multi-disciplinary residency focusing on learning, peer critique and developing new ideas and collaborations in and around immersive art and technology. The residency will take place between May – November 2024 and will support six UK-based artists/studios to collaborate and develop proposals for immersive experiences.

Eligibility: We are looking for 6 UK-based emerging and mid-career creative practitioners/studios (with 2-10 years of experience), with experience or desire to work with immersive art & tech.

What you get: The artist fee is £4,000, to support your time. Accommodation, travel and per diem expenses for in-person sessions will be covered by the programme outside of this fee. The residency will run in a hybrid format, beginning and ending with in-person activity, punctuated by a series of online talks, sessions, mentoring and workshops. The residency will culminate with an in-person showcase of three new immersive project prototypes, developed by the cohort who will collaborate in pairs, alongside a dedicated University of Oxford academic research partner. The showcase will be an opportunity to present the project to both public and sector audiences.
