"Inside the spatial sound dome, the result came to life. The piece responded to touch and pulsed with presence. Not linear, but layered. It was a sonic landscape that embraced the contradictions in the process. Listening became touching. Speaking became silence. Each fragment was part of a whole that didn’t ask to be resolved, only to be felt."
Izzy Benigno (@izbenigno ) writes about the experience of participating in XR Ensemble's (@xrensemble ) at MANIFEST:IO 2025.
The workshop Letters Without Borders, led by NYC-based artists Clara Francesca (@clar_esca ) and Anne Wichmann (@shes_excited ) in collaboration with Spatial Media Lab (@spatialmedialab ), invited participants into a sensitive investigation of co-creation and reflection asking: How can we bridge the distance created by language, migration, and fragmented identities?
