Glitch Virtual Academy

GLITCH, an online training workshop for young international artists and filmmakers aged between 20 and 40. The project was created with the purpose of supporting the participants in the creation of an original augmented reality work and in the insertion in the artistic field. In order to respond to the needs dictated by the pandemic and to continue designing in times of health emergency, the first version of Glitch is held online, thus reaching a wider pool of users at a lower cost of participation. This edition is dedicated to augmented reality as a means of escape and stimulation in a time of limitations. The chosen theme is therefore "The re-appropriation of sociality and its spaces through Augmented Reality". The workshop is structured in such a way as to provide participants with the tools to deepen their artistic and technical knowledge of new media, to bring technological innovation and the creative dimension into dialogue, and to expand a network of contacts and access to the professional world.
