The Critical XR Manifesto workshop sets out to reimagine and expand on the current notions of XR while following a critical, reflective line of thought and envisioning a common, open, sustainable XR as promoted by the Realities in Transition project.

The interactive workshop addresses XR artists and professionals from Europe and beyond, inviting them to contribute their expert perspectives in a collaborative setting. It aims to create a critical framework, emphasizing the significance of collective debate within the community rather than individual efforts.

The session will showcase the custom-built CXRM app enabling participants to contribute perspectives and statements to the manifesto. During the workshop, ethical dimensions of XR will be explored in four focus groups investigating artistic XR ethics (borders between artistic and commercial XR production, the influence of technology on shape and form of artistic output), technological ethics (questions of Openness / Open Source, accessibility, privacy), industry ethics (questions of profit, commercialization and industry) and user ethics (questions of virtual escapism, identity politics, appropriation).

The event will conclude with a networking session, fostering stronger connections and mutual understanding among XR experts.

Number of participants: 20 Language: English

This workshop is presented in the context of Realities in Transition and co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
