Alternate Realities: The World Unknown to You
SHEFFIELD DOC/FEST
7-12 June 2018
Step into the lives of others and journey into new story worlds that use the latest immersive and interactive art forms.
We invite you to experience seventeen multi-disciplinary installations that transport you to new and previously unreachable territories.
The artists in this room use computer generated worlds, interaction design, robotics and even theatre to put you into the mind of another or the unexplored depths of the natural world.
Experience the mind warp of depression. Play your way through a tale of grief. Encounter the resilient story of a remarkable hero. Dive into a sub aqua adventure. Or go back and forwards in time to witness the devastation and destruction of Nuclear Weapons.
These immersive and interactive narratives move us into elaborate worlds that are often immediately recognisable and yet unknown.
