through the
looking glass
where layered realities unfold
AUREA#8 is for the curious. We borrow a page from Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic to explore the many layers of immersion. How do technologies embed themselves into our environments, our stories, and our senses? How can we craft narratives that aim not to isolate, but to transform?
As technology continues to expand the boundaries of storytelling, how can we refocus on inner exploration and keep the gateway open to the fantastical and transformative experiences that lie beneath the surface?
