The exchange

A room for works in progress.

First initiated in fall 2023 and revisited in winter 2024, VR Salons brought together practitioners working across virtual reality, immersive media, performance and research. Each gathering made space for members to share works in progress, exchange practical knowledge and discover collaborators.

The salon model remains a touchstone for MOVE37XR’s approach to ecosystem building: small-scale, relational and led by the questions artists are already carrying.
