ARTandVR: A Futurist Festival

February 18 7pm-11pm (early VR demo entry 5pm)

HACK Temple 906 Broadway, SF

$20 Early Bird, $30 GA, $50 Early VR Demo Entry

ARTandVR was birthed from the belief that bridging the growing chasm between the art and tech communities could catalyze the radical change needed to become a humanist, progressive society. Bringing together the best in underground art and indie coding, the results are multi-layered, sensorial, and groundbreaking. The February 18th exhibition will showcase a projection mapped altar, world creation VR, and aerial acrobatics, just to name a few. Futurist Brett Leonard will discuss best practices for avoiding dystopia.

VENUE

ARTandVR is located in a stunning cathedral with a rich history linked to the transformation of San Francisco. Build in 1912, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, was the worshipping place for many Spanish speaking Christians. In 2016, GVA Capitol purchased the building to transform it into a meeting place for thought leaders to gather and innovate.

"For a whole century it served as a place for people to come with their dreams and challenges, help and support each other and connect," GVA co-founder Cherkashin told SFist. "We needed a place for an open public forum to inspire free flow of thoughts and ideas on innovation.
