Where do you start with Mixed Reality if you have little or no development experience? How do you engage with the medium critically when you approach it from an artistic perspective? Lucas De Wold (aka Nearly Norman), artist, educator and facilitator exploring and creating immersive realities talks to me about his journey in Mixed Reality. Follow us along for a discussion about support networks, creating and sharing tools, communities and social MR, and a critical engagement with the medium as a catalyst for human connection.

Lucas Dewulf (Nearly Norman) is the founder of XRT. He is developing his artistic practice creating experiences where human connection is central. Key to his work is using the affordances of digital technologies to explore the physical world and to question our analog nature within virtual space.

Currently he lives in Ghent, Belgium (which I pronounce completely wrong!).
