VR:RV|Visualising the Invisible: VR Encounters in Non-Fiction

Liam Maloney, Carolin Wiedemann, Sophie Schulenburg At the
intersection of journalism and VR, the concepts of Image and Truth
are imbued with new perceptive qualities. When Virtual meets
Reality, the space is fraught with questions of representation,
manipulation, complicity and consent, on both sides of the
technological lens. This panel of journalists and VR experts
convenes to discuss the frontlines of their work and exposes some
of the cracks in our 360 degrees of enthusiasm. VR:RV is a project
by the Goethe-Institut, realized with the support of the Federal
Foreign Office of Germany and in collaboration with MUTEK_IMG,
re:publica, the National Film Board of Canada, the Canadian Film
Centre, ARTE Germany, Eye Steel Film, Mozilla Foundation, Doc
Circuit Montréal, SODEC and Retune.
