On June 3, the NL Lounge is your base camp for the day: a place to land between sessions, make new connections, and get a feel for what the Netherlands is building right now.
At 3 PM, UpscaleXR presents FAR, a 7-minute VR poem.
A hand-drawn phone booth. A voicemail. Night falls, and reality begins to blur. FAR is a 7-minute VR poem guiding you through dreamlike, fragmented landscapes where distance and longing become tangible.
The visitor steps into a hand-drawn phone booth and receives a voicemail message. Night falls and the boundaries between reality and fiction begin to blur. A poetry-driven narrative about absence and yearning for connection guides you through dreamlike, fragmented landscapes, where distance and longing become tangible.
