Join us at PIX FILM Gallery on Tuesday Octobre 01, 2024 from 6:30 -9-30pm
Nick Fox-Gieg will immerse us and guide us through experiments in drawing with XR and independent forms of presentations in Augmented Reality. In this beginner-friendly workshop for visual artists with no prior coding experience, we'll learn how to create a single-serving XR website for phones and tablets. We'll be using the collaborative coding platform Glitch, the open source A-Frame library, and basic HTML to take our own 3D artwork and place it at a location in the real world.
(We encourage participants to bring their own computer)
Nick was a recent artist in the Studio Immersion Program at PIX FILM, supported by the Petman Foundation,
