Join us for a series of workshops during the last two weekends of summer – 23-24 August and 30-31 August 2025. These events are part of the Art & Science Lab project, a collaboration between the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center and the Arsenał Municipal Gallery Branch – Pawilon.
This event will introduce you to the process of designing and programming interactive and immersive narratives using XR technologies. The goal of the workshop is for participants to create a prototype of their own XR narrative. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who wants to start their journey into digital storytelling and programming hybrid experience environments.
The workshops will be led by Weronika M. Lewandowska – a creator of immersive narratives, poet, performer, and doctor of cultural studies, and Marcin Wałęsa – an automation engineer specializing in software development from the New Media Department at PCSS.
Here is the registration link: https://forms.gle/8fymMqoQs8zqQQx77.
The project is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage as a part of the Center for the Development of Creative Industries’ own program: Creative Sectors Development.
