Audience feedback from OOTFest25: very interesting experience and take on the materiality of our world. Thank you for provoking thoughts and feelings!
Audience feedback for Tong Hai Gao Tai 2066 installation at OOTFest25: very strong feeling of the uncanny...it is very atmospheric and generates a strong feeling of affect, what is this all about, of course it is strange to us
At #OOTFest25, we worked hard to create a space for immersive, engaging performance pieces and installations that would provoke powerful reactions and emotions in our audiences.
Creative technologies give us an opportunity to enhance our storytelling and take the audience right to its heart 💜
Take a look back at #OOTFest25, our recent performing arts festival.

A photo of a lone female dancer against a black background. Curving titles read audience feedback, and there is a large speech bubble. The text inside reads: It’s exciting to see familiar and accessible technology taking the next step within the arts. Slowly but surely, we’re moving from experimentation to storytelling, from sharing opinions to creating real experiences. At the edge of innovation, the risk of failure is higher than ever. Yet with the community it fosters, there’s something beautiful about failing, learning, reimagining, and growing together.
It was wonderful to see the reaction of audiences at #OOTFest25 (UN)SEEN, as we explored so many different worlds through digital and immersive storytelling.
If you joined us at the festival, we'd love to know what you thought!

June has been a month of hard work, creativity and joy!
It was wonderful to see #OOTFest25 come to fruition after three years of planning and development, and we want to offer a huge thank you to all the amazing artists, technologists, speakers, audiences & volunteers who made it so special.

A graphic designed to look like a text conversation containing feedback on the opening night of OOTFest25. The first message says "what did you think of opening night?" then reply says "I think the 4 exhibitors yesterday were trying to protect the past in the future. They want the future to keep the past. It's very interesting!"
A massive thank you to everyone who came to #OOTFest25 opening night at Riverside Studios!
We're looking forward to seeing more of you over the next 3 days, as we showcase amazing performances, immersive installations (VR, video & sound) & host expert-led panels.
