An early afternoon jaunt to work on a quick XR (Augmented reality / Virtual Reality) piece inspired by the a literary work.
Hopefully at the end of the session we’ll have something we can share across all headsets and phones in augmented or virtual reality (one possibility is webXR which we’ve played around with to showcase Sudoroom here https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me )
Highlight
We’ll be taking a look at Octavia Butler’s science fiction Eartheed trilogy which was one of the inspirations for Kara Walker’s piece Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine) currently on show at the SF Moma museum.
“The child in each of us
Knows paradise.
Paradise is home.
Home as it was
Or home as it should have been.
Paradise is one’s own place,
One’s own people,
One’s own world,
Knowing and known,
Perhaps even
Loving and loved.
Yet every child
Is cast from paradise-
Into growth and new community,
Into vast, ongoing
Change.”
- Octavia Butler, the Parable of the Sower
