Are you an artist or creative working in Brighton & Hove? Curious about new technology?
Wired Sussex are currently running free Immersive Discovery Days for creatives and artists at The FuseBox to support Brighton & Hove’s ABCD Cultural Recovery Plan.
Our innovation hub The FuseBox has been bringing together creatives and technologists since 2013, inspired by the Brighton Fuse research project. The report demonstrated how the fusion of creative practice and technology is central to innovation.
The sessions will offer a beginner-friendly introduction to technology - if you’re intimidated, don’t be! We’ll take you through a brief history of immersive tech, with recent advancements and potential applications, hands-on demos and lots of time to experiment, ask questions and explore. Get inspired by examples of what other creatives and artists have achieved with immersive technology - with incredible 3D art masterpieces and award-winning experiences.
At The FuseBox, residents collaborate and support each other with the idea that knowledge and techniques from the arts, humanities and design mesh with new technologies. The space is home to a buzzing community of creative residents with a host of experience. Long-time FuseBox resident and digital artist Maf’j Alvarez recently exhibited her ‘Eva Quantica’ immersive virtual reality dance piece at Brighton Festival to rave reviews. Residents Annis Joplin and Sarah Cole also took part in the last Third Thursdays, showcasing their innovative 360 film ‘STUCK’, projecting it high above the busy street of Kensington Gardens.
