Immersive Experience Network
The live immersive experience sector has undergone extraordinary growth over the last 10 years as creative companies have developed interactive experience concepts from fringe experiments to global companies with multi-million pound turnovers.
The Immersive Experience Network is being set up as a catalyst to support creators making new work, developing new audiences and growing financially sustainable creative companies. Our strategy is built around:
• Building Community

Immersive Arts
Immersive Arts is an ambitious three-year programme taking place across the UK, using an artist-led approach to working with immersive technologies.
This exciting programme encourages artists of all backgrounds and experience to explore, experiment or expand how they work, or would like to, with immersive technologies.
Immersive arts means different things to different people. We define it as ‘art that uses technology to actively involve the audience’.
Think virtual, extended and augmented realities:
-
engaging multiple senses
-
bridging the gaps between physical and digital spaces
-
connecting people to each other and the environment
-
changing the way we think and create
You don’t have to be tech-savvy (though you can be) to apply. All you need is a curious mind and a creative practice.
