VR:RV - Visualising the Invisible: VR Encounters in Non-Fiction
15:30 - 17:00
At the intersection of journalism and VR, the concepts 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. Questions posed include: How will today’s and tomorrow’s technologies allow us to witness that would otherwise be invisible? How can these new immersive spaces invite us to explore the frontiers of journalism, science, education? What are the implications of VR as voyeurism, as witness to trauma and conflict: what can we expose and what should we ultimately leave to the imagination?
