10 immersive things — AR audio, build Alexa apps without code, crowdfunding analytics, plus a massive amount of new work enters the public domain…
January edition of our monthly round-up of immersive things
The following is a list of immersive things that mix story, play, design and code.
At Columbia DSL we explore new forms and functions of storytelling. Through our programs, prototypes and events we strive to build collaborative spaces that push at the edges of the impossible.
Upcoming Columbia DSL winter events
Feb. 6th — Join us for “Acoustic Kitty” 1960s declassified CIA docs inspire haptic storytelling project.” The evening is part of the Columbia DSL’s monthly meetup held in partnership with the Film Society of Lincoln Center
Collaborators Wanted! We also hold monthly meetups at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and are currently building a global prototyping community.
We’re always searching for interesting immersive things. If you know of something that we should experience or if you’re interested in collaborating with us please let us know.
New Works Entering the Public Domain in 2019
“That deluge of works includes not just “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” which appeared first in the New Republic in 1923, but hundreds of thousands of books, musical compositions, paintings, poems, photographs and films. After January 1, any record label can issue a dubstep version of the 1923 hit “Yes! We Have No Bananas,” any middle school can produce Theodore Pratt’s stage adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and any historian can publish Winston Churchill’s The World Crisis with her own extensive annotations. Any artist can create and sell a feminist response to Marcel Duchamp’s seminal Dadaist piece, The Large Glass (The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even) and any filmmaker can remake Cecil B. DeMille’s original The Ten Commandments and post it on YouTube.” — Smithsonian Magazine
