<h2>  Highlights of ONX Studio Showcase include:</h2><h3></h3><h3><strong>Kordae Henry</strong> and <strong>Jeremy Kamal&#x27;s </strong>IF NOT NOW is a live motion capture featuring a Flex dancer who is rendered into an Afro-Futurist robotic form and cut into a video to be presented for the remainder of the Showcase. *on live display June 9th - 12th</h3><h3></h3><h3>Created by ONX Studio Fellows <strong>Matthew Niederhauser and John Fitzgerald</strong> and their collaborators Wesley Allsbrook and Elie Zananiri, Metamorphic is a social VR experience where the body becomes a vehicle for expression within majestically drawn worlds. *presented June 13th - 16th *Please be advised the Metamorphic experience is available on a first come first serve basis for each time slot and all guests may not be accommodated.* </h3><h3></h3><h3>Using tools such as photogrammetry and volumetric film capture, <strong>Reese Donohue</strong> presents two new multi-channel video and spatial sound installations created in collaboration with musicians L&#x27;Rain and Eartheater. *presented June 9th - 20th</h3><h3></h3><h3><strong>Sarah Rothberg’s</strong> NEW MEETINGS is a performance of experimental dialogues, inspired by fluxus scores, experimental conversational styles (ie Bohm dialogue, nonviolent communication, community agreements), and a question: what is a meeting? Two people in different locations (the artist and a guest) share a virtual environment, following a set of parameters to encourage emergent movement and conversation. The audience, in-person and online, can see/hear their interaction - and its feedback loop with the environment - on a 2D display. Together, the VR participants co-create an artwork in real-time: a piece of generative software art, with people as part of the software.</h3><h3>*Key collaborator: Nate Turley</h3><h3></h3><h3><strong>Theo Triantafyllidis</strong>’ Anti-Gone, part theatre, part Twitch.tv, is a dramatic live-streamed play whose central characters are avatars powered by VR headsets and mocap suits worn by stage actors.

Loren Hammonds, VP, Immersive Programming, Senior Programmer, Film &amp; Immersive at Tribeca Festival explains, “We have long embraced the immersive community in New York, and we recognize the incredible power of the ONX Studio Showcase as an important new accelerator in New York. We are excited to kick off what we expect to be a powerful and creative partnership with the organization during this season’s festival.”</p><p></p><p>Launched in October 2020 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic with the goal of supporting the practices of extended reality artists, ONX Studio distinguishes itself as a hybrid space where work is both created and presented. It functions as an accelerator, a subsidized production studio/workspace, and an exhibition gallery located in the Onassis Gallery of Olympic Tower in Midtown Manhattan.</p><p></p><p>ONX Studio currently supports a cohort of two dozen artists, and a number of them will present works in progress for the inaugural Studio Showcase. In keeping with the spirit of a “studio space,” the artists are providing a behind-the-scenes component of their creative process to demystify the technology that goes into extended reality work. Each day of the Showcase (June 9-20) will be different from the previous, as projects and installations will rotate and morph. A session may include live motion-capture filming, hybrid live/Virtual Reality (VR) performance, social VR experience, a talk show in VR, or spatial audio experience. Complementing the installations and experiences are several VR stations that will present finished work by ONX artists, previously only seen during limited runs at festivals such as Sundance, Tribeca, and SXSW. </p><p></p><p>Karen Brooks Hopkins, Senior Advisor of the Onassis Foundation said, “The ONX Studio is on the cutting edge of everything that is happening in the world of digital media. I am amazed by the incredible scope of these projects. Given how quickly our world is changing, anyone interested in the future of artistic expression should not miss this showcase. The Onassis Foundation is proud to be a part of this great collaboration.”</p><p>_________________________</p><p></p><p>In addition, three projects from the ONX cohort were chosen as official selections of Tribeca Immersive. For more information go to the Tribeca Festival website for tickets and times. </p><p></p><p>Idris Brewster, Glenn Cantave, Micah Milner’s Kinfolk is an augmented reality app, re-envisioning monuments to focus on Black and Brown historical figures. </p><p>Annie Saunders and her collaborators’ CURRENT is an immersive soundwalk set in Lower Manhattan, conceived to invite both locals and visitors back to our public spaces.</p><p>Steven Schardt’s Polæ is an interactive science-fiction series for mobile devices depicting the future history of Adelaide Engelsen and her company, Polæ.</p><p>_________________________</p><p></p><p>ABOUT ONASSIS USA </p><p>Founded in 2000, Onassis USA was the first international affiliate of the Onassis Foundation.
