The 7th edition of Immersity took place on 27 and 28 March 2024 and brought together in Angoulême, at the invitation of the Pôle Image Magelis, all the professionals exploring new forms of immersive storytelling. Writers, directors, technicians and producers came together for case studies and conferences.

L.E.V. Festival (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual), after revealing the line-up of live shows and audiovisual & performative installations, announces the rest of activities for its 18th edition: four experiences around extended realities, in a collaboration with Realities in Transition, which include the two VR works Red Tail and Uncanny Alley; the AR experience Slow Walker, and a workshop for teenagers about Metaverses and musical creation with PatchXR.

The exhibition Metaverses: realities in transition is based on the premise that virtual environments are a reality increasingly present in our lives. Inaugurated within the framework of the L.E.V Matadero festival in Madrid, it shows a selection of alternative metaverses proposed by and for artists, mainly developed during the COVID19 international crisis as an example of new spaces of creation and resilience, and promoted by several international cultural institutions.

On December 16th, Aurélie Delater, coordinator of Realities in Transition for Chroniques, presented the project, its activities and opportunities, to artists and cultural actors at the exhibition Chroma Flora in the Estufa Fria (Cold Greenhouse) of the Botanic Garden of Lisbon.

From September 21 to 24, Matadero Madrid organizes a new year of the festival, with the most innovative experimental projects in the fields of electronic sound creation, audiovisual creation, digital art and extended realities, both Spanish and international.

Combining virtual reality and physical bodies, No reality now styles itself as a witchcraft ritual. Spanning the gamut of sensations courtesy of digital, this one-of-a-kind creation endeavours to ward off death.
