Our goal is to feed and grow the community of people who create.
Radiance VR is a research platform and database for VR art. Its mission is to present artists working with VR from all over the world to create visibility and accessibility for VR art and for faster adoption of virtual technologies. The platform works closely with artists, institutions and independent curators to select the highest quality of virtual art for public institutional exhibitions.

Grants and Residencies a great resource for finding art jobs, space, grants,and residencies.

Talks and Blogs “A podcast about the internet’ that is actually an unfailingly original exploration of modern life and how to survive it.” – The Guardian A tech ethicist & comedian tackle the thorniest issues in tech! It’s the question of our times: How is technology impacting our humanity? On Should This Exist? We invite creators of radical new technologies to set aside their business plan, and think through the human side: What is the technology’s fullest potential? And what could possibly go wrong?
