Immersive Cinema: VR Screenings by Poetics

As a Major Sponsor of Technopolis City of Athens, COSMOTE TELEKOM continues to forge new paths at the intersection of Art and Technology, presenting its own Art/Tech Corner at the 1 st Athens International Literature Festival. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience an innovative literary universe, where words and stories come alive through immersive, interactive, and multisensory journeys.

What if you could walk inside your favorite book? At the Art/Tech Corner, Immersive Cinema by Poetics transforms storytelling into a new digital experience through 360° VR projections, from the cosmic sci-fi of Arthur C. Clarke in 2001: A Space Odyssey, as visualized by Stanley Kubrick, to the dystopian fantasies of Philip K. Dick. Visitors will also get the opportunity to discover a striking literary and audiovisual work chronicling writer John Hull’s personal journey into the world of blindness, based on his audio diaries.
