DOK Exchange

DOK Exchange strives to develop and flourish an international XR community of creators, experts, researchers, producers, storytellers, curators and distributors.
- We focus on building openness and equality in the process of knowledge exchange.
- We critically look at and analyze new directions for the development of XR projects and storytelling to better understand and take sustainable decisions on design, production and distribution processes.
- This year, we are especially interested in the issue of agency, the direction of social VR experiences development and the principles of designing safe and healthy XR environments.
- Additionally, we want to look at alternative sources of financing for XR projects.
DOK Exchange offers two events:
The DOK Exchange Conference
Brilliant speakers presenting an in-depth look at the various aspects of XR development (on-site with online transmission).
The DOK Exchange Showcase
Six XR cutting-edge projects presenting their work-in-progress in front of an online audience, followed by feedback by experts from the fields of research, funding, distribution, art and technology (online).
The DOK Exchange Showcase is looking for XR projects from all over the world, which are:
- in development or early stages of production
- presenting an innovative and unique approach to storytelling
- exploring artistic possibilities of immersive media and interactive technologies
- (alternatively) taking into account the ethical and social impact of XR
The selection will be made by the DOK Exchange jury – details about the jury members coming soon.
