Moonshot Meetup at Immersive Tech Week in Rotterdam
Description:
The Moonshot coalition brings together organisations, makers, producers and festivals from the Dutch digital culture sector. In this edition, the Moonshot joins forces with the international community of ITW. Together we present four roundtables around current topics in XR: important lessons in the distribution of XR, stimulating international XR co-productions, artistic design research in XR, and financing XR. The table hosts will introduce the tables in terms of content.
