The [ITP/IMA/Low Res] Spring Show 2021

To kick off the festival, join us at the YORB Gallery Opening to celebrate our students and their incredible work from this semester! View students’ projects from the Project Directory and mingle with guests and ITP/IMA/Low Res community members a novel online way. Be sure to catch a ride on the lazy river around the exhibit!

YORB is an interactive and multiuser 3D-space that you can visit from your web browser (Chrome recommended). The YORB Gallery will be open throughout the festival (and beyond) as an experimental and playful archive of student work and social space. You are invited to visit and explore on your own time and at your own pace, as well.

Students' projects are spread across two YORB locations. Enter either one to start exploring!

Yorblet 1 and Yorblet 2

Upon entering YORB, you will be offered a tutorial learn how to navigate and interact in the space. If you've used YORB before, please feel free to head straight to the venue.

Welcome and Opening Remarks at 10:10am ET
Featuring Dan O’Sullivan, the Associate Dean for Emerging Media at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and the TBS Chair at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) and Faculty Producer Matt Romein.

Developed by a group of ITP graduates, residents, and current students, YORB is inspired by ITP’s interactive television series from the 1990s, also called YORB, and the quarantine conditions of Spring 2020. YORB 2020 was built as an online space to socialize and experiment and was modeled after ITP/IMA’s physical location on the 4th floor of NYU’s 370 Jay Street building in Brooklyn, NY. YORB 2021 includes new spaces for creative expression and virtual gatherings.

Attend an evening of performances by students in the ITP and IMA Low Res programs! Streamed live in YORB, these performances will include bleeding edge demonstrations of interactive music, animation, dance, and theatre from the web.

Connect with the student creators LIVE in a science fair style show! View demos and ask students about their projects in SpatialChat, a multiuser 2D-platform. This time-specific event recreates the fun and chaotic nature of the in-person shows we’ve hosted in the past.

For a list of presenting students and their projects, please check the list of Projects.

Meet our students in SpatialChat here:
