Future20: with the Kauffman Foundation

In collaboration with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Pigeon Hole Productions organized 15 representatives from Kansas City together to world build the future of their city. The Pigeons lead the group through the world building process and then recreated their vision in Virtual Reality. The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation organized a final showing that was attended by hundreds of Kansas City residents where they were able to use the VR headsets to experience a glimpse of a hopeful future.

The Future of Work: with Sundance New Frontiers

World in a Cell: with USC Cinema

In collaboration with the World-building Media Lab and The Bridge Institute at The University of Southern California, we set out to prototype the experiential world of the inside of a single Pancreatic Beta Cell in Virtual Reality. This art-science collaboration allowed users to explore inside the cell while prompting new discussions, narratives and concepts.
