In an impressionistic black and white image made up in virtual reality, a number of women, of all ages and all dressed in large late-Victorian dresses, are pictured floating around a space which has old images of city housing as its background (campaign image Walzer (Leo Erken & Frieda Gustavs, NL 2022))

Xtended presents work by artists and filmmakers Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Laurie Anderson, Marina Abramović and Tsai Ming-liang, who are cued by VR experience to offer alternative and challenging views of our world. Their virtual stories, visual finds and triggered experiences touch our emotions, resonate with us and make us stop and think.

Virtual Reality productions are an increasingly important element of the contemporary film experience. Eye has created a new programme, Xtended, to focus on VR. In Xtended, you’re not confronted with the flat surface of a film screen. You move around virtually in 3D through a designed space that surrounds and immerses you on all sides.

Walzer

The VR experience Walzer by Frieda Gustavs and Leo Erken takes you on a journey through a landscape consisting of thousands of photographs of women from the first wave of feminism (1850-1940). The duo have developed a new way of making archival material accessible to all using virtual reality. A number of films will be screened alongside the VR experience. In Eye 31 May through 7 June.
