Emancipating XR, 2024
+
+ +
✳ WebXR
+ +
✳ Digital Garden
+ +
+
+ +
+
+

Emancipating XR (Extended Reality) is an speculative media archaeology project which aims to capture the possibilities and difficulties for Virtual Reality practitioners seeking to work with Open-Source technologies.

+

The project is led by Aiden Brady and Cailean Finn and has been funded by Immersive Arts UK's 'Experiment' strand.

+

Tied-in with this project is Aiden Brady's VR project "A Town Unravelled" which initially sought to creatively appropriate a VR headset for artistic purposes and use the accessible system information to impact a VR installation artwork. This artwork was presented in grassroots and alternative contexts, outside of traditional arts infrastructures, in Newry City, Northern Ireland.

+

After embarking on this project, it became clear that developing a coherent artwork for display in a non-gallery context and successfully developing open source methods to do so, would be a mammoth task. So, the project has been segmented for now and this website reflects partially on the individual artistic process for "A Town Unravelled" but to a much greater extent, begins to develop a non-linear research map of the type of methods being developed by open-source curious XR practitioners.

+

Throughout the site, there are references to the vast amount of material online in this area which was clearly once available but has since been deleted, or now leads to a dead link. One could only speculate why discussions of this nature are no longer available.
