12:00 - 14:15 Virtual Reality Symposium, Virtual Economies: The future of work and play. Virtual Reality can lift us out of our seats and away from our screens – it immerses us in an active, participatory space that is networked and global. How will Virtual Reality shape the future for creative practice and practitioners in Art and Design? How will we work and what will we do to make money? What forms of entertainment will we spend it on? Does VR take us beyond materialism or is it the ultimate in total consumption? Virtual Reality Symposia 02
