Art update! I've come upon a close cousin to Immersivism. Techspressionism is a movement where artists use tech to create expressive art. AI is central to their manifesto.

Immersivism by contrast is about painting the internet as it is and its artists don't like AI.

An artistic approach in which technology is utilized as a means to express emotional experience.

Watching this #interview, you'll learn a lot of things. I've had the pleasure of speaking with Ben Lang, the founder of Road To #VR, someone who has been in the industry since 2011 (before Oculus was a thing).

No better way to understand futures than to be an avoid historian, even of recent histories. Can’t recommend ‘In the Land of the Unreal’ enough!
yup! shameless book and article plug if you want to go deep on the previous hype cycle and get some different angles for critiquing AI

I published 41 interviews from 2018 to 2025 on the Voices of VR covering Augmented World Expo Past & Present. I cover XR & AI like a hyperobject over space & time through the modality of oral history, and this series is 24.5 hours long spanning lots of topics. See my cheat sheet with tags & metadata
