We believe immersive technologies are poised to radically transform the arts. Not merely storytelling and exotic environments, but how we experience music. This past year we witnessed an exhilarating reimagining of the music video form.

It’s an intoxicating development that makes us wonder how these new technologies will alter live musical performances.

"One day it just hit me: Hey, Virtual Reality is immersive art. I can use that to make installations and experiences ."
"In five years if we are still using cell phones I'll feel like we failed. We should all be using some sort of augmented reality to interact with a computational force."
