Clyde DeSouza moderating panel discussion with Nathalie Habib, Patrick Lichty and Mamali Shafahi at Sharjah Film Platform. Sharjah Art Foundation, 2019.

Overview

This panel explores the possibilities of virtual, augmented and mixed reality while examining the ethical and cultural implications of these technologies more generally. How do such approaches to moving image expand or heighten experience of our surroundings? Can VR truly generate empathy in ways that traditional forms of film and art cannot? And what are the driving impulses that have led practitioners to utilise such technologies in their practice?
