XR without Borders
Birthed from the Silicon Savannah, XR without Borders is our non-profit organization bringing together likeminded artists, technologists, film makers, designers, creatives, policy makers, public health specialists and XR enthusiasts with a corporate, educational and development background with a shared global vision of transforming children’s lives, the underserved and underrepresented groups in Africa through XR. We connect XR professionals from all over the world to communities in need of XR solutions through a volunteer network of professionals.
The Moran StoryLab
The Moran StoryLab is our VRTC (VR Training Center) focused around empowering women from film-centered ecosystems in the field of journalism, filmmaking & storytelling.
The program signs up 6 women per semester at no cost, who go through a Google based VR and 360 video production course combined with a curriculum that we have developed on our own with consultations from renowned and award- winning Immersive filmmakers/journalists.
The Lab provides a theoretical, conceptual and practical learning environment that serves as a starting point to immersive media.
State of the ARt
State of the ARt is a joint initiative between Goethe Institut and BlackRhino VR.
This project deploys AR/VR technologies in a learning and experimental context by exposing artists to new art formats resulting in an XR showcase exhibition. We believe that technology is a fundamental force in the development and evolution of art and provides artists with new tools for expression.
The goal is to;
1. Make artists more open and aware of new technologies.
2. Allow the artists to push art forward, invent and define new paradigms of expression.
3. Expose the general public to art that pushes the limits and defines new meanings.
