The 2025 edition showcased projects developed within IMMENSIVA 2025, offering attendees the opportunity to experience prototypes, exchange ideas, and engage directly with the creative processes behind XR, AI, and interactive media works.
The gathering fostered informal dialogue and peer-to-peer learning, encouraging new collaborations and opening pathways toward future projects, residencies, and partnerships. By bringing together local and international creators, IMMENSIVA Day reinforced its role as a catalyst for community building within the immersive arts ecosystem.
