Yesterday I gave an artist talk at Engelsholm Højskole, home to what I believe is Denmark’s only programme dedicated to VJ’ing. It reminded me how much my stay at Kunsthøjskolen i Holbæk shaped my path into media art. Thanks to Marius for the invitation. engelsholm.dk
I finally moved my video hosting from Vimeo to Bunny.net. After years of putting up with sluggish performance, frustrating UX, and increasingly steep pricing, the latest price increase was the final push. No regrets so far.

PARADISE premieres Sept 5–16 at Aveny T, Copenhagen! An experimental performance mixing AI, stereoscopic 3D, plants & human actors - probing our fractured bond with nature & tech’s promise to save us. I’ll be in the tech booth after. aveny-t.dk/forestilling...

If you’re also working with stereoscopic real-time content for 3D displays and projections in Unity HDRP, and want to set forced perspective stereo views – using single pass rendering – here’s a hack you might find useful. Use at your own risk. github.com/cecarlsen/co...
What I spend my week on? Well, apparently @unity.com cannot do single pass stereo custom view/projection views … unless you write a c++ XR Provider plugin ... but you can’t, because the link to the XR SDK is broken. discussions.unity.com/t/custom-ste...
Custom stereo matrices for single pass instanced in HDRP. How?
@IsaacsUnity @andyb-unity @KevinXR Who do I have to talk to get access to the XR SDK for developing a XR provider plugin? The sign up link in the manual is broken.

Don't miss MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. I saw the premiere at CPH:DOX and there are still a few tickets left. It’s an incredibly frightening yet touching insight into how Putin has radically transformed the entire Russian school system for wartime. cphdox.dk/da/film/mr-n...
Mr. Nobody Against Putin - CPH:DOX
En modig og ukuelig folkeskolelærer afdækker i hemmelighed Putins aggressive militarisering af Ruslands skoler i en film, som det ikke er for tidligt at kalde en af årets dokumentariske sensationer.

Intangible is on display at CPH:DOX INTER:ACTIVE, Kunsthal Charlottenborg March 13–24. This is my first VR-based work, produced during a EMAP residency at RIXC in Riga last autumn. I couldn’t be happier with the venue for this Danish premiere. #VR #XR #ArtTech #Generative #Simulation #DigitalNature
