Submit an XR Work

Every year during the festival week, our extended reality exhibition DOK Neuland invites visitors to experience unexpected stories in virtual spaces. For this year’s edition we are looking for immersive XR works that break down habitual modes of storytelling and create new experiential spaces – be it through virtual reality, mixed reality or augmented reality experiences, 360° films, performances, media or web-based art, sound installations, projection mapping or looped films, participatory films or games. Or you surprise us with new XR formats we can’t even imagine right now! 

You can submit your XR works until 1 July. There is no requirement for premiere status. Read more about the regulations here and access the entry form via myDOK:
