So far, most VR is a solo experience. However, some creatives are starting to use VR to stage multi-user experiences and performances. In this session, artists will give 10-minute talks about pieces designed for live viewing or for accommodating multiple participants inside a virtual space.
Moderator Caspar Sonnen (head of new media at IDFA, curator of IDFA DocLab) will guide us through this showcase of live VR and collective VR, with presentations by Aaron Koblin (Life of Us, The Johnny Cash Project, The Wilderness Downtown), Katy Newton (Hocus Focus: What Magicians Can Teach Virtual Reality), Cosmo Scharf (Mindshow),and Nathan Phillips (R). Pro tip: Charge your phone.
Panels are open to all Festival credential holders on a space-available basis.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
