In this unprecedented time of a near universal shift to virtual presence, we talk to a range of creatives/groups exploring cutting edge ideas around the evolution of community, connectivity, and intimacy in virtual worlds. We will hear about their conceptual directions and the outputs they have enabled to reflect on our human need for intimacy, embodiment, and belonging, the virtual opposite to our present ‘social distancing”. This panel aims to examine the potentials of virtual physical hybrid environments for the future, where commentary on and action with digital intimacy, belonging, and bonding is made the priority.
