A cross-discipline 360 VR Project
FourByFour was a project designed to provide creative employment opportunities between sectors and explore new technologies and new approaches to those technologies. Each of the four 4-minute movements produced delved into the architecture and history of each site through the lens of isolation.

Raewyn Hill says
“We are excited about what our dancers and choreographers will create for this series of multi-disciplinary digital works. The collaboration, exploring physical expression alongside sound and screen technology, has great synergy with our drive in utilising tech in performance.”
The immersive 4-minute short films launched the 2020 XR:WA Conference and Expo; WA’s major annual screen conference for computer gaming, VR and everything in between.
