The first European centre wholly dedicated to the immersive arts is opening on the Island of San Servolo in Venice, Italy, as the result of a programme agreement signed a year ago by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and the Veneto Region’s Department for Education.
CSC Immersive Arts, whose education director is Sara Tirelli, will look to explore and further understand possible applications of Extended Reality by studying their evolution, the major trends characterising their use, and their as-yet untapped potential, in order to leverage a sector which has seen significant development in recent years and offers huge possibilities for growth within the audiovisual and performing arts sectors.
