In Escape Fake 2.0 is a European project curating an interdisciplinary approach focused on the design of immersive technology and interactive experiences, drawing on collaboration between organisations in the audiovisual, immersive technology, media, educational, and cultural sectors. The project builds on previous work in the design of Escape Fake, an augmented reality educational game dealing with the topic of fake news.
As a part of Escape Fake 2.0, the organisers invite 4 teams composed of 2 artists to contribute their ideas in the creation of four artworks. The artefacts or installations will be mobile and usable without borders, and they will be toured to art and media festivals in the second half of 2023. The organisers are looking for teams of two artists from each partner country – Austria, Hungary, Italy and Romania. Projects will be selected by the core team of the Escape Fake project, together with guest experts.
Key dates (details tbc):
- April – May 2023: 7-day workshop + 7-day optional residency in Budapest.
- May 2023 – July 2023: content creation period. After the residency, the artists have 2 months to realise their projects back in their home country. During this time they will have regular check-ins with the project team both for progress updates and mentoring purposes.
