Strange Quark's project 'Day in the Life: Stories from the Vauxhall Community' is coming to the TechNExt Creative Hub this Friday in Sunderland! ✨ Day in the Life is a mixed reality VR experience celebrating the Vauxhall community in Luton commissioned by Luton Council and supported by the Heritage Fund. Inspired by the archival material collected for the Luton Made: Vauxhall exhibition, the experience combines the narrative-based game format with a celebration of local history. The visitor journey begins with the selection of a car avatar to become a time-traveller attending key community events from Vauxhall's history. As part of the experience, the viewers meet Vauxhall workers, attend events such as sports days and children birthday parties, and visit the canteen to experience the sale of the company. The time-travel stops let the visitors experience key historical moments on the production line, migration, vehicle design development and Vauxhall’s contributions during the Second World War. As the visitors navigate through the storyline, they acquire key items that represent the history of Vauxhall in Luton. The gamified experience is complete when the visitor has collected all of the items bringing the time-traveller back to the present. Also on view at @stockwooddiscoverycentre until July 2026 @technext_uk @lutonmade_vauxhall @vauxhall #luton #vauxhall #mixedreality #VR #heritage taken in Sunderland, UK by @strangequarkcreative

Videocity (Newcastle, UK), Forum Sudutpandang (Palu, ID), and independent curator Chiara Giardi (Jakarta, ID) partnered in "Extraction Echoes," a video-art project unearthing stories of extraction across borders. 🌍📽️ This multi-layered collaboration explored the "echoes" of mining in Northern England and Central Indonesia, revealing how human activity reshapes our landscapes and kinship with the earth. By bringing video art into public spaces—from cinema cafes in Newcastle to community space in Palu and flea markets in Jakarta—the project facilitated dialogue on sensitive socio-environmental topics and the ethics of resource use, both by artists and the general public. Read the full story of Extraction Echoes at the URL 🔗 bit.ly/extraction-echoes --- Photo description: Slide 1: Extraction Echoes exhibition trailer with excerpts from video works. Slide 3: Q&A at the Tyneside Coffee Rooms and projections in public space in Palu. Slide 4: Screenshot from the project’s last Digital Exchange meeting. Slide 5: A Folk Tale From The Forest by Vania Qanita Damayanti plays at the Tyneside Bar & Cafe in Newcastle. Slide 6: Extraction Echoes at Marlah! Hub in Palu. Slide 7: Sarah Adilah presenting her video practice at Kongsi 8 in Jakarta.
