 64 Ways of Being

Gap Filler, Kris Herbert, Troy Innocent, Vanessa Gray | 2024 | AR | New Zealand
64 Ways of Being is an urban art experience that brings Ōtautahi Christchurch's lanes, streets, parks and river to life via audio stories and augmented reality – to create a conversation with the city about its past, present and future.

Players are guided along the banks of the Ōtakaro Avon and through the labyrinth of the city. Along the way, players are prompted to reimagine the world through urban play.

Idyll 
Demi Schanzel | 2023 | MMO | Game New Zealand 
Best enjoyed after a long day away, the project is a small social world designed around kinder forms of online conversation and connection. Wander around a gentle pastoral island, strike up small conversations with other passing players, and even toss out small letters into the wide open blue oceans of the internet. 
 
Kabaret 
Gina Thorstensen | 2023 | VR Game | Norway 
Immerse yourself in an interactive experience that delves into the intricate world of coral's synchronised reproduction resonates with the poignant worries of a solitary shrimp contemplating the uncertain future of its habitat.  
 
Line Rider VR  
Boštjan Cadež  | 2024 | VR Game | Slovenia
Try the new virtual reality (VR) version of the classic game “Line Rider”. The original game wascreated in September 2006 by Boštjan Čadež, a Slovenian student. Soon after its initial appearance on DeviantArt, the game became an internet phenomenon, and now Boštjan has made this VR version for a new generation of players.
 
Natalies Trifecta 
Natalie Paneng | 2023 | VR Interactive | South Africa 
This interactive piece transports the viewer through the different worlds of the multi-disciplinary artist, Natalie Paneng, as they explore her physical studio, virtual gallery and digital dreamscape to experience the whole trifecta. 
 
Night Creatures 
Isobel Knowles, Van Sowerwine | 2023 | AR Interactive | Australia 
The project is an augmented reality experience celebrating the energy, connection, and intimacy of the film festival queue via animated cinema-goers who take the form of fruit bats. Eight well-dressed stop-motion puppets talk to you about their cinema favourites.
