What worlds are on the horizon? Augmented realities, virtual frontiers, and speculative futures — Next Realities seeks your boldest visions of tomorrow.
Next Realities seeks your speculative fiction, poetry, essays, + artwork that push the boundaries of reality + interrogate what’s next. We are especially interested in projects that use an emergent technology as the medium to interrogate the concept of a next reality: conjure narratives from the bleeding edge of VR/AR. Send us your visualizations of the ripple effects of the multiverse. We are also particularly interested in and invite works that use Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), or other interactive experiences.
How to Submit:
- For traditional text or artwork: Please submit as usual here: [link]. Prose submissions should not exceed 4500 words, and traditional poetry forms should not exceed 150 lines.
- For AR, VR, or MR works: Provide a screen capture recording of the experience (hosted on platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), and share a link to access the work (QR codes or URLs are accepted).
- Include a process statement (250-400 words) that explains your creation process, including the technology used, artistic challenges, and insights. (See website for notes about Process Statements).
- Works may be submitted to our Submissions Form or emailed. If you have any specific questions, queries, or pitches, please email us at remediateeditor@gmail.com.
We welcome a range of submissions: traditional forms around alternate realities and speculative futures, immersive works, and mixed-reality projects. Whether you’re engaging with the bleeding edge of XR technology or envisioning a speculative future through storytelling, re•mediate looks forward to engaging with your work!
