An evolving toolkit

We’re at an inflection point for XR distribution. Across the sector, there are widely varied needs and goals depending on whether one is an artist or producer, a venue or curator, or a funder, and depending on what format of XR is being discussed. Many attempts have been made to articulate the problems and identify possible solutions, and multiple strategies are required to address the gaps. For the IDFA DocLab R&D partnership research in 2024 and 2026, we explored distribution pathways, or ‘pipelines’. That is, what are the possible trajectories that different projects might take on their journey to finding audiences?

 

 

Key outputs and findings:

  • An evolving distribution toolkit, made up of:
    • An interactive pipelines diagram that visualises the possible pathways
    • A series of guiding questions for artists and the broader XR field
    • Forthcoming, via the Independent XR Distribution Coalition – a living database of platforms and venues that program XR work
  • Additional findings narrative – including revealing an interstitial layer of producers supporting the field, and emerging networks of presenters
  • Four existing XR project case studies with artist interviews
