EXPDSN Issue #4: The Experientials.
I was thinking about how I should go about greeting this community, this group of people. I could say, hey guys, but it has shortcomings, and then I thought design has designers, experiences should have experientials.
Hello, Experientials.
Dream.Online is the future of online theatre. A live, online performance set in a virtual midsummer forest.
Theatre, music, and groundbreaking technology combine in an extraordinary exploration into the future of live performance. Follow a sprite on a moonlit journey through the night until dawn. That’s a pretty sweet online experience.
Motion capture is used to capture the movements of the 7 performers in real-time, which in turn, drives the virtual avatars of each of the characters – Puck, Moth, Mustardseed, Peaseblossom & Cobweb and is filmed by a virtual camera.
The spatial audio app, Gestrument, allows the actors to influence the musical score's direction through their bodies' movement, an interactive symphonic soundtrack designed and recorded by the Philharmonia Orchestra. This living, dynamic soundtrack adapts and interacts live with the pre-recorded orchestral soundtrack performed by the orchestra.

NOWHERE. A few weeks back, there was nowhere fest. More than 500 people attended the fest, raising more than $5,400 in donations for Helping Hearts NYC.
NOWHERE created a station just for me for the next three months. Nowhere is a face-to-face platform to create, explore and connect in unforgettable 3D worlds on a browser. It’s still private beta, and there are only 50 stations, so it’s quite an honor.
Let’s create. Here’s how: I’ll create an EXPDSN station, and you can request to host anything you want to play and experiment with ideas. Here are a few ways folks are doing NOWHERE—a cooler alternate to Zoom, co-hosting events, hosting birthdays, etc.
I’m hanging with NOWHERE. Come join, check out this new platform, meet the creators and chill with live music.

WHATSAPP. I can be a bit slow putting this together. I want to acknowledge that I would have loved to inform you about the NOWHERE fest, but I didn’t get to it. This is why I’ll be using WhatsApp more. We all should be using it to share and widen the perspectives included with credit and permission.

That’s it, folks.
