NG21 Nordic Games Autumn. / Patchathon #3
27 October - 5 November 2021, Online
Patchathon is a unique, hands-on format for exploring Patch, collaborating, and learning, which we’re touring with event partners. Invited artists get a singular experience in the metaverse.
Make your own musical world in VR, then perform with it live online for an audience. Learn direct from the developers who built the Patch platform, hone your skills, and create amazing new work.
Patch is a complete, immersive environment to create interactive music worlds and instruments in VR. As game engines disrupt the whole entertainment landscape, the PatchXR team is building a tool to enable DIY creators to express themselves in this new era. Get your hands on it and let’s start building the future of media together: blending sound, visuals, and full-body gestures in mixed realities.
We’re open to working with event partners across the arts, creative media, gaming, and expression to make Patchathon work for different audiences. Poets and singers, instrumentalists and coders, 3D artists and hackers - we’ve already had our minds expanded by the full spectrum of artists working in our space.
It could be you or your audience:
Visual/media artists
