Team Human Live From Vrto | With Keram Malicki-Sanchez And Amelia Winger-Bearskin
Ep. 134
Team Human Live was invited to VRTO to discuss the limits of virtual reality experiences and how the medium can be used for new forms of storytelling. Joining Douglas on stage, VRTO Founder, Keram Malicki-Sanchez followed by artist, technologist and organizer, Amelia Winger Bearskin.
Rushkoff discusses the origins of virtual reality and shares stories of exploring the limits of the medium with Timothy Leary and Terrence McKenna. Together, Rushkoff, Malicki-Sanchez, and Winger-Bearskin ask how virtual reality be used in storytelling, why good VR experiences shouldn’t force us to do certain things, and how we might justify the use of virtual reality in the face of existential crises. It is a wide-ranging discussion that aims to challenge the underlying assumptions of VR’s central operating system.
