At this event, perspectives relevant to the production and integration of immersive technology in these fields will be explored. This symposium is hosted by HDK-Valand and Visual Arena and will be held at Visual Arena, Lindholmspiren 3. Highlights include:

• Hear from artist and architect Wen-Yee Hsieh about his transition from architecture to immersive storytelling through the case study of his latest VR piece Limbotopia.
   
• Meet producer/curator Sebox Hong, who brings years of experience working with immersive technologies in Taiwan and internationally.
   
• Join a discussion on the challenges, opportunities, and future of immersive technologies in the arts.

The three main area of discussion will be:

• What are the challenges when making a VR project and how does the working pipeline look like for such a project?
   
• What kind of conceptual, artistic, and technical challenges can one expect when transitioning between the field of architecture, design, art, and film towards immersive storytelling technologies?
   
• What kind of a research environment is needed for development of research within the field of immersive technologies?
