High Five, the first family film in virtual reality. It is already that common.
Compared to many artistic experiments in virtual reality, the comedy High Five is remarkably carefree. Cheerful spectacle for a wide audience at Amsterdam's VR Cinema.

Documenta 14: You have 100 days to discover Athens
Every five years, the art world turns upside down. Then it is time for the fourteenth Documenta. At that time, the German city of Kassel turns into a veritable Mecca for art connoisseurs and art lovers, snobs and connoisseurs. And, of course, tourists looking for that other Efteling. This year's Documenta has a sizeable Dutch contribution. But there is more: for the...
Somewhere at STRP Biennial 2017, a future, earth-shattering genius is walking around among the schoolchildren
Leisure is the mother of philosophy. -motto by British philosopher Thomas Hobbes, seen in Klokgebouw during STRP17 An app called "Die with me" that, as soon as your smartphone is at five per cent remaining power, automatically connects with other Die with me users.

How VR filmmakers want to immerse you (and why theatre helps)
Some doubt whether virtual reality is a suitable medium for feature film. The Dutch makers of Ashes to Ashes, The Night Watch and High Five show that it can be done.
The friendly voyeurism of Bert Hana
On a cold rainy afternoon, I cycle to the Brakke Grond to ask Bert Hana about his motivations, as befits a beer. First, I visit the IDFA DocLab, which features his VR installation 'I Am Not Home Video', which we have talked about before. Bert Hana is perhaps every art critic's dream, as...
IDFA's DocLab: I walked blind through a splendid day in cyberspace

Women and girls in film world still worse off. Cinekid talks about it

The woman on the beach and why virtual reality film is not a film
For one evening, EYE was all about virtual reality. What will remain of VR when the hype is gone we don't yet know. But maybe we will understand the phenomenon better if we stop comparing it to existing media like films or games.

Film Academy Masters 2015: put on those VR glasses!
Fifth batch of Masters graduating from Film Academy shows experimentation drive.
Zeros, ones and the public; what is digital art?
The new format of the Holland festival puts the spectator first. Plenty of visible events, free performances and being in the middle of the city. It's director Ruth McKenzie's trademark. It is therefore not surprising that she does not shy away from the digital universe. After all, what better way to share than digital art? But what then is digital art...
Don't miss it. PIPS:lab brings the future into the theatre
The Netherlands is one of the few countries where Science Fiction plays no role in mainstream media, let alone in the arts. If we look upwards at all, it is through Govert Schilling's disarming Duplo bricks, or Vincent Icke's mildly ironic commentary in DWDD. Or turning 'Mission Earth', a failing soap opera with bickering comedians, into...
De toekomst van kunst en reizen is 3 dimensionaal en virtueel. Powered by Google.
Even een korte tijdje vooruitdenken en je bent waar Google wil dat je bent. Alle kunst, overal ter wereld bereikbaar via je beeldscherm, je tablet. Zelfs de obscure kunst. Of sterker: mee te maken in je google glass of je Oculus VR bril. Je kunt nu al kunst in musea bekijken, maar dan zonder een rondleider die je vertelt wat je moet zien. En hoezeer we dat in het dagelijks leven ook niet op prijs stellen, soms is het best fijn om aan de hand van een gids door onbekend terrein te lopen. Zonder je vakantiegeld eraan te geven.
