Immersive Design Summit news and more
Hey, I know this is running a little late. Blame me, not the long-suffering Kathryn. You see, we wanted to get the Immersive Design Summit application form up before we launch EITW, and then it was the end of Friday and then… well… you know how it goes.
Here’s the skinny — 100 slots are open. By application. Tickets are $275. We’re bootstrapping this, and it takes a lot to pull something like this off. There are going to be a limited amount of scholarship tickets avalible. (Unless, you know, some mad generous sponsor steps up and starts sponsoring people. Hit us up if that sounds like you.)
The deadline is noon on Sunday the 12th. So: review the application form, and then fill it out. Don’t delay.
I’m starting to feel like Steve Boyle, Gabe Smedresman, and I are planning a very elaborate wedding. Just know: if we could invite everyone, we would.
Maybe next time there’s a wedding, ya dig? — Noah
THIS WEEK ON THE PODCAST
Get ready for some brain-twisty-ness on the latest episode.
First: we have Lin Bo, of China’s dissident Xiong Collective joining us for a hot second at Think Tank Gallery where he is hanging their new collaboration ‘District 798.’ Lin Bo is the subject of the show ‘Caught,’ which is also making its bow at Think Tank.
How does that work? We have no idea.
Then it’s time for one of THOSE episodes, as we sit down with Derek Spencer of Ceaseless Fun (and the League of Experiential and Immersive Artists) to talk about… well, everything.
Plus a short rant about Gothamist shutting down, word on the Immersive Design Summit, and strange interruptions galore.
This one really is like hanging out with us.
