Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Milk

Yale Anthropologist Lisa Messeri spent a year doing field work in Los Angeles in 2018 studying the political ecology of the VR community, and will be releasing her landmark book called In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles on Friday, March 8th. It's the best book about the culture of VR that I've read so far as it is pulling in many insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS), anthropology, social sciences, sci fi, pop culture, and philosophy. Making claims about reality is daunting for any working scholar in the 21st Century, and Messeri uses the feeling of "unreality" as a analytical tool to analyze not only virtual reality, but also the fracturing nature of our political context, but also the unreality of Los Angeles as the factory of dreams and façade-like architecture that blurs the boundary for what's deeply real vs what's surface scaffolding enough to transport you into another reality. Messeri uses the framing of fantasy to interrogate a number of claims being made by the VR community circa 2018. Fantasy by her definition could include both positive aspirational dreams, but they could also turn out to be deluded illusions. I personally prefer the using the phrase of potential since it is a bit more neutral for me, and includes both the promising positive potentials as well as the more perilous negative potentials. But she splits her book into three parts the Fantasy of Location exploring the unreality of Los Angeles as well as how VR transports you into another world per Mel Slaters place illusion. The second part is the Fantasy of Being deconstructs the VR as the ultimate empathy machine per Chris Milk's infamous 2015 TED Talk. Then the third part explores the Fantasy of Representation with the aspirations of the LA VR community to create a more diverse and equitable ecosystem that transcends the bias and power dynamics of Silicon Valley. In each one of these three sections, Messeri uses case studies and follows specific individuals over time to see whether or not some of these aspirations and potentials end up becoming grounded into physical reality, or whether they end up collapsing into a more deluded illusion. I was inspired to dig into my backlog of 800+ unpublished Voices of VR podcast episodes to publish some interviews that I conducted between 2017-2019 featuring some of the main characters and protagonists featured in Messeri's book: Marci Jastrow is featured in Chapter 3 letting Messeri become a scholar-in-residence at Technicolor Experience Center Carrie Shaw of Embodied Labs is featured in Chapter 5, and radically opens up her business to Messeri to study Jackie Morie is featured in Chapter 6 as Messeri deconstructs some of the gender essentialist claims that VR is a medium that's a natural fit for women. And Joanna Popper is featured in Chapter 7 as Messeri breaks down the unique pathways into emerging technology that she was noting as an interesting trend from an anthropological perspective. I had a chance to read through an advanced copy of In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles, and it's already started to make a huge impact on the way that I think about the many dimensions of unreality in our present day realities ranging from the surreal experiences of VR presence to the fractured reality bubbles of our political discourse to the ways in which techno-utopian solutionism can impact the philosophies that are driving how technologies like AI are developed aspiring towards speculations of Artificial General Intelligence or Artificial Superintelligence. I even started applying Messeri's unreality analytic to make sense of some of what Alvin Wang Graylin was saying in our discussion about Our Next Reality. I said, "I found myself is this kind of unreality of a potential imaginal future of this post-scarcity, post-labor context where all of our problems have been solved,

Jessie Cohen started representing immersive stories back at Sundance 2013 when she was working for the Sundance Film Festival for the New Frontier section. She eventually transitioned from trying to represent every New Frontier project through the festival into working directly with virtual reality directors and artists who were exhibiting their work through Jessie Cohen PR and Consulting. She then came back to represent festivals like Sundance New Frontier, Venice Immersive, and London International Film Festival while also representing immersive storytellers as well as working with Chris Milk and Supernatural to represent the emerging market of VR fitness. Cohen spoke up at the Art of Reviewing Immersive Art and Entertainment panel at Venice Immersive that I was speaking at, and we had set an intention to find a time to capture more about her insights from having a front-row seat of navigating the relationship to the press and emerging artists and storytellers for the past decade. I had a chance to catch up with Cohen at SXSW where she recounts some of the highlights of coverage that she's been able to help facilitate, as well as reflect on how ultimately it comes down the stories and creative processes of these artists that keeps her engaged in this emerging market and ecosystem for immersive art and entertainment.

Thilo Hagendorff Die Unterscheidung zwischen natürlicher und virtueller Realität soll durch VR-Technologien langfristig aufgehoben werden. VR-Datenbrillen initiieren so gleichsam eine neue Generation an immersiven Medieninhalten. Diese ermöglichen es den Nutzern, neue Erfahrungswelten erschließen zu können. VR-Datenbrillen erlauben eine in diesem Ausmaß zuvor nicht dagewesene Leichtigkeit bei der Identifikation mit Avataren, Spiel- oder Filmfiguren. Durch VR-Datenbrillen kann erfahren werden, wie es ist, jemand anderes zu sein, etwa ein Mensch einer anderen Hautfarbe, eines anderen Geschlechts, eines anderen Alters oder eines anderen Kulturkreises oder auch ein Tier. Diesen Umstand macht sich eine ganze Reihe an Anwendungen für VR-Datenbrillen zunutze. So mag es nahe liegen, VR-Datenbrillen als "Empathie-Maschinen" zu bezeichnen, wenn man eindrückliche VR-Demos wie beispielsweise iAnimal der Tierrechtsorganisation Animal Equality, in welcher man das Leben von Schweinen und Hühnern in der Massentierhaltung aus deren Perspektive nacherleben kann, das Project Syria von Nonny de la Peña, in welchem man auf einer belebten Straße in Aleppo „hautnah“ einen Raketeneinschlag miterleben kann, oder die 360°-Reportage Clouds Over Sidra der Filmemacher Gabo Arora und Chris Milk, in welcher man virtuell in ein jordanisches Flüchtlingslager versetzt wird, betrachtet.  Diese Empathie generierende, technisch vermittelte Perspektivübernahme scheint eine sozial wünschenswerte Medienwirkung zu sein. Diese jedoch wird konterkariert durch das Isolationsarrangement, welches zur Benutzung von VR-Datenbrillen erforderlich ist, um ausschließlich digital erzeugte Stimuli auf sich wirken zu lassen. Diese Isolation, welche eine Grundbedingung für die Nutzung von VR-Datenbrillen ist, löst Mediennutzer aus ihrem sozialen Kontext heraus. Damit wird letztlich genau das, was eigentlich gefördert werden sollte, behindert – nämlich die Fähigkeit, empathisch zu sein.

Im VRODOCAST #27, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Augmented Reality und Virtual Reality, sprechen wir über Sonys räumliches Musikvideo, HTCs mobile VR-Brille und neue Cybersportarten, die nur in Virtual Reality funktionieren. Gute Nachrichten gab es in dieser Woche im Bereich räumliche VR-Videos. Sony präsentierte ein volumetrisches Video mit räumlicher Bewegungserkennung, das in mühevoller Kleinstarbeit und mit viel technischer Trickserei konstruiert wurde. Lytro, die Manufaktur hinter der Lichtfeldkamera Immerge, verspricht, diesen aufwendigen Produktionsprozess zukünftig stark zu vereinfachen. Das Unternehmen gab diese Woche bekannt, dass weitere 60 Millionen US-Dollar von Investoren fließen werden. Außerdem sollen Chris Milk und andere 360-Produzenten bereits die ersten Inhalte mit der potenziell revolutionären Kameratechnologie gedreht haben. Mehr zu Sony: https://vrodo.de/playstation-vr-sony-dreht-raeumliches-musikvideo/ Mehr zu Lytro: https://vrodo.de/lytro-60-millionen-us-dollar-von-investoren-neue-lichtfeldkamera/ Klar war es schon länger, nun ist es offiziell: HTC wird eine mobile VR-Brille auf den Markt bringen. Die ist zwar offenbar mit dem Smartphone kompatibel, soll aber deutlich mehr können als Gear VR und Co. Der Verdacht liegt nahe, dass das mobile System so wie HTC Vive das fortschrittliche Lighthouse-Tracking unterstützt. HTC würde das im Vergleich zum Wettbewerb einen enormen Qualitätsvorsprung verschaffen. Wir spekulieren, was da auf uns zukommt. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/bericht-htc-bringt-mobilen-ableger-von-htc-vive/ Zuletzt diskutieren wir über das Thema Cybersport. Damit sind physische Sportarten gemeint, die nur in der Virtual Reality funktionieren. Anstatt MIT dem Computer, spielt man IM Computer - gegen andere Menschen. Dafür haben wir ein paar Beispiele parat wie Racket: NX oder Holoball. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/htc-vive-racket-nx-im-test-cyber-sport-der-spitzenklasse/

The building blocks for VR and AR are finally here -- but the content is just beginning. So everything you'll actually experience and consume in these new mediums over the next few years is being built right now. Formats aren't yet defined or locked down, and the field is bubbling up with experiments in forms, formats and genres, from narrative to games to live events. As we begin to have real time rendered characters and AI-driven environments that you can interact with, the storytelling structure will also need to completely change. Are these mediums inherently social -- or just the opposite? What will self expression look like? What experiences are being built? Because fundamentally, that is the "celluloid" we are now working with -- human experience, says Within cofounder and filmmaker Chris Milk. Bigscreen founder and CEO Darshan Shankar, Lytro CEO Jason Rosenthal, and Milk join a16z's Kyle Russell in conversation about the challenges, potential, and emotional power of these new technologies -- on this episode of the a16z Podcast, recorded at the inaugural a16z summit.

Chris Milk uses innovative technologies to make personal, interactive, human stories. Accompanied by Joshua Roman on cello and McKenzie Stubbert on piano, Milk traces his relationship to music and art -- from the first moment he remembers putting on headphones to his current work creating breakthrough virtual reality projects. VR is the last medium for storytelling, he says, because it closes the gap between audience and storyteller. To illustrate, he brought the TED audience together in the world's largest collective VR experience. Join them and take part in this interactive talk by getting a Google Cardboard and downloading the experience at with.in/TED.
