Spatial Reality: Artists Explore the Future of XR

sp[a]ce
49 East Walnut Street
Pasadena, CA 91103
$0-$5,000

"XR—a spectrum of ‘extended’ reality that includes virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)—three-dimensionalizes the virtual world. After a half-century of computing in 2D, we are suddenly adding in the full expression of our bodies and our understanding of space. We turn to the artists and storytellers: the visionaries who leapt over a precipice and into new worlds without any idea where they might land to create work for this show. And it deserves note that this leap takes a tremendous amount of courage. The work in this exhibition is unlike anything you’ve encountered, and it’s a sneak peek of the reality you’ll soon inhabit on a daily basis.

Accompanied by her black cat, Jiji, Kiki flies to the port city of Koriko where she meets Tombo, a boy obsessed with flying (another constant Miyazaki theme). Kiki opens up a delivery service to deliver goods via her flying broom (a kind of Witch Fedex), makes all sorts of mistakes, but slowly and surely gains confidence in her witch abilities."
