be Conwy

 In late 2021 I was brought on board as the Lead Digital Artist for BeConwy, an Arts Council Funded R&D virtual reality community project developed by Shakes VR and Pigtown Theatre, utilising and working alongside the platfrom Engage.

The idea going in was to create an alternative reality Conwy Castle learning, performance and networking space that with help from the community would help inform the real reality Conwy.

I lead a team of 3 fab digital art interns to create a VR environment based on the castle, with the content informed by a number of community workshops, a number of which I held.

Actors were then brought in to develop an immersive play which we created interactions for, hosting four live performances over the final two days of the project.

See some stills from the performances below and a short piece put together by Shakes VR showcasing the project.
