How are virtual worlds created?
This hands-on workshop will take participants through a range of exercises including role play and virtual reality 3D modelling. Together, we will explore ideas about how we experience the world – through our bodies and minds – and how these sensations might be translated into an emotional and immersive gaming world.
By attending this workshop, you’ll gain an understanding of how gaming worlds are created, as well as some key concepts in gaming and science fiction such as embodiment and ‘World Reduction’ and gain some hands-on experience in the ways virtual worlds are considered and created.
Led by Sophie Rogers and Lucy Wheeler
Sophie's practice engages with CGI, installation and gaming. The capabilities of virtual world-building for critical imagining and reflection influence her practice along with their emotive potential. Most recently, Sophie completed a Masters at the Slade School of Art (2023) and is currently working on the development of game 3 Minutes to Midnight.
Lucy is a practising digital and immersive artist and appeared on AGORA Digital Art Podcast, toured her VR project, Just-In-Time with The Immersive Kind, participated in Gazell.io Digital Art Residency and exhibited at A.P.T Gallery.
