Experience projects developed during the Immersive Media Design Program’s New Works Incubator, a six-week summer development program designed to support the creation of immersive media projects by students from across the UMD campus. The Incubator enables individual student creators and teams to explore new areas of immersive media and to create works based on their own interests and initiative.
The following works are being showcased at the Iribe Center:
The Clarice’s Costume & Prop Shops are emptying their storage closets with a doorbuster sale of items ranging from fashionable to wacky and weird. This is your once-a-year chance to own a unique piece of a production presented at The Clarice!
A worldwide movement for social change, the Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. Sign up in the Grand Pavilion for a 20-minute conversation with human “books” from our campus and local community, and learn about their point of view.
“Book” titles include:
Undocumented and Unafraid
Baltimore Cop
Russian Scientist in DC
Soul & Ink will provide a fun screen printing activation that blurs the line between art and audiences. Participants can choose between four custom design art pieces specially created for NextNOW Fest!
Maryland Night Live brings together the University of Maryland's best comedians and musicians for a hilarious night of sketches, stand-up comedy and music!
Created by University of Maryland (UMD) and Bowie State University (BSU) students and faculty following the murder of Lt. Richard Collins III, the Unity Mural was conceived to take a stand against racism and violence, reflecting upon themes of unity, peace and justice.
Submergence is a large, immersive, walkthrough experience that uses many thousands of individual points of suspended light to create feelings of presence and movement within physical space. As you enter the piece, you are walking into a space occupied by both real and virtual components, and you can affect both!
