Experimental Realities: An Inquiry is based on the principle that 13 minds are better than 1 or 2. From July 7-10, 2023, IDA will bring together a diverse group of researchers, artists, curators, creative technologists, poets, and collectives for an in-person convening in Los Angeles, CA. The convening sits in a place of emergence that centers on relationality and respect. We define experimental reality practices as immersive, virtual, and augmented reality practices that are rooted in visual arts, including time-based media, moving image art, and experimental filmmaking practice. We will explore many different variations of experimental realities, including and beyond the tech.

“Our granting program recognizes the equal importance of small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between. Together, and with the foundation’s support, they work to collectively amplify the voices and visions of artists, which deepens and diversifies the national cultural discourse.”
