We’re excited to share that "My Little Tragedy", winner of the @stichtingsymbio Art Prize will premiere at @oerolterschelling 2026 as part of the Visual Arts Programme.
Set in a club, this new interactive video installation begins with a washed-up plastic pony from the 2019 MSC Zoe container spill. Eroded by the sea and covered in sand, it has had a revelation.
What follows is part confession, part invitation, as the pony calls on visitors to lend their voices to a strange collective encounter somewhere between karaoke, ritual, humour and discomfort.
Created by @nullshima_studio with sound design by @studiozweerts , the work turns plastic’s long journey through oceans, homes and bodies into something oddly intimate.
Premiering June 2026 at Oerol Festival
More soon! #Oerol26
We’re very happy to share that Revival Roadshow has won the Social Impact Award at @filmgatemiami Interactive 12.
Working closely with a brilliant group of collaborators, we developed the project as a team of two, leading all stages from research and directing to filming, animation, and production. It means a lot to be recognised alongside so many strong works.
The project draws on historical archives and unfolds within an absurd future setting, engaging with questions around colonial histories, plastic pollution, national identity, media manipulation, and attention economies. Rather than offering answers, the work aims to open space for reflection.
We’re grateful to the jury, @juliewalshvr and @avmakesthings , for recognising the project, and to @pink_kraken and the entire FilmGate team and community for such a generous and inspiring week.
Revival Roadshow is a 17-minute virtual reality experience that critiques colonial legacies through the speculative resurrection of 17th-century Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. Set in a museum of the future, viewers encountera mysterious artwork: Tasman, clutching a Dutch flag, posed triumphantly in a dystopian plastic wasteland.
Through gaze-controlled, interactive audio, each viewer experiences a unique narrative, as multiple intertwining storylines unfold.
See it at Movies that Matter Festival from 26-28th of March - link in bio!
Starting on Thursday this week at @filmhuisdenhaag , "Revival Roadshow" will be shown during @moviesthatmatterfestival in The Hague!
Framed as a distorted art appraisal show, the VR installation examines how colonial imagery, consumer culture, and ecological crisis intersect within a speculative future. By asking viewers to choose where to direct their attention, the work mirrors the ethical decisions embedded in how we consume information and history.
Find it at @filmhuisdenhaag Studio B
Thursday 26 March, Friday 27 March and Saturday 28 March!

We are excited to present the US premiere of "Revival Roadshow" in Miami this week at @filmgatemiami
As part of the exhibition, Luke will take part in a short creator spotlight, sharing insights into the project and discussing how immersive storytelling is evolving across Europe. The 15-minute rapid session offers a behind-the-scenes look at our creative process, research, and the ideas shaping this new VR work.

Today @kaboomfestival opens in Utrecht. We are very proud to have our virtual reality work “Revival Roadshow” as part of the festival selection, alongside some very inspiring creators in the animation field.
Starting TODAY! Revival Roadshow will be presented at One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival @jedensvetcz in Prague.
Set inside a fictional future museum, the VR work invites viewers to navigate overlapping audio narratives triggered by their gaze, as a colonial artwork becomes the centre of a speculative climate crisis.
By foregrounding myth-making, media manipulation, and displacement, the installation reflects on how historical power structures continue to shape contemporary human rights debates.
Grateful to share the work in a context dedicated to urgent global questions.

This week we are pleased to present Revival Roadshow in the VR program at @trickywomen in Vienna (March 11 – 15, 2026).
The 360° work expands animation into immersive space through a dense digital collage of archival material, AI-generated imagery and animated interventions.
Using directional audio, viewers shape the narrative by choosing which voices to follow and which to ignore, highlighting how animation and immersive media can challenge inherited histories and dominant myths.
A year ago at @iffr we premiered our VR work Revival Roadshow. Since then, it has travelled to Greece for @filmfestivalgr , back to the Netherlands for @nederlandsfilmfestival , to Germany for @dokleipzig , Switzerland for @giff.ch and Hungary for @verziofilmfest . Along the way, it was nominated for the @aidcmelb Awards in Australia and selected as a finalist for the @simastudios Awards in the US.
Coming up in March, we are excited to exhibit at @kaboomfestival . We are also preparing several additional presentations across four countries, with announcements to follow soon.
Thank you to all the audiences, curators, volunteers, creators, funders, juries and collaborators who have been part of this journey.
We’re pleased to share that Revival Roadshow has been selected for the VR Competition at @kaboomfestival .
Kaboom is an international festival dedicated to innovative and experimental animation, with a strong focus on immersive and cross-disciplinary practices. The VR Competition brings together works that push the boundaries of storytelling, animation, and virtual space.
Revival Roadshow will be presented alongside an international selection of VR works during the festival.

We’re excited to share that our VR production REVIVAL ROADSHOW has been shortlisted for the 2026 Social Impact Media Awards (SIMA @simastudios ) in the XR + Interactive category.
SIMA recognizes films and immersive works that engage urgently with social and environmental issues, and we’re honored to be in the final judging round alongside so many strong projects.
REVIVAL ROADSHOW is an interactive VR work set in a speculative future museum. Framed as a darkly absurd art appraisal show, it uses gaze-controlled audio and layered collage worlds to explore fake news, consumer spectacle, neo-colonialism, plastic pollution, nationalism, and climate collapse. Multiple narratives compete for attention, asking viewers to decide which stories are preserved and which futures are imagined.
Winners will be announced on February 4, 2026. Thank you to @simastudios for the recognition and to everyone who has supported this work so far.
