Interdisciplinary research in European extended reality labs

Abstract

This paper analyses the use of Immersive Experiences (IX) within artistic research, as an interdisciplinary environment between artistic research, visual pedagogies, social and cognitive sciences. This paper discusses IX in the context of social shared spaces. It presents the European Extended Reality Labs (EXRL) interdisciplinary research. The paper discusses how EXRL combines and integrates three research strands that are part of a major, sustained artistic or scientific focus of the partnering European academic institutions. In those labs researchers, artists, film-makers investigate and create different kinds of IX. EXRL provides the opportunity to situate artistic research in the context of scientific.
