“As an artist, trying something new, something experimental requires a great deal of risk-taking, which is why Tribeca has supported artists in the immersive space for the past 14 years,” Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Enterprises CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. “As Tribeca continues to invest in the future of immersive and embrace it as an art form, we know we can make an even greater impact by partnering with organizations such as Onassis ONX and Agog. Through this collaborative, big tent approach, we look forward to championing artists who are stepping out into the unknown.”

Onassis ONX serves as the exhibit’s co-curator and co-producer. Both Onassis ONX and Agog: The Immersive Media Institute specialize in XR technology.

“At Agog, we see immersive media as a powerful lens for rethinking how we understand and respond to the world’s most pressing challenges,” Chip Giller, Agog’s executive director and co-founder, said in a statement. “This partnership with Tribeca and Onassis ONX is an incredible opportunity to support creators who are using immersive media to reshape the way we tell meaningful stories. Together, we hope to create new pathways to spark creativity, collaboration, and technical know-how in the space, and introduce XR newcomers to the power of XR for social good.”
