Great experience of Ben Andrew's VR piece "Turbulence: Jamais Vu" at IDFA. It is an invitation to live through an attack of vestibular migraine, a condition Ben "suffers" from.

A slow - due to jetlag and general distractability - and enjoyable afternoon read. Senses with/out subjects is a rich volume on "techniques of sensorial world making" edited by Erica Fretwell and Hsuan L. Hsu. Recommend to anyone interested in sensorial studies, posthumanisms, literature, and beyond

Carolina Cruz-Neira, the inventor of cave technology, about the limitations of today's VR application. Really enjoyed her talk @ Siggraph 23
