📢Calling out to all #VR users/makers - I'm looking to talk to anyone who has experienced (as an audience member) - or been involved with creating - a VR concert. Would love to hear your thoughts on the affordances (and frictions) of these types of arts experiences.

As expected, despite rhetoric (and evidence but that's generally ignored by this government) that the creative industries are at the heart of the UK economy, arts education is once more under attack
