, they looked to expand the new media event’s international footprint. In previous editions, the festival hosted expansive foreign delegations while organizing VR residency programs with partners from that year’s country of honor. In 2020 they were supposed to build even further, presenting the fruits of last year’s France-Taiwan residency while inviting a whole new delegation from South Africa.
“As with our jury [which is made up of professionals from fields outside of XR], our goal is to expand the field,” Swierczynski adds. “The XR world cannot just be a fixed line from China through Europe to the U.S. and Canada.” “It’s very important to back up our words with action, because sometimes labs and incubators of this type can be a bit blurry as to what they actually offer,” Swierczynski explains. “Here, the works are selected, accompanied, financed and presented. We want to make it the best residence possible.”
