BALDO VERDÚ xR Performance
Extended Reality four song set performance by musician Baldo Verdú live streamed from Milk It Studio. A specially invited audience interacted with Baldo via group video conferencing and their video feed was incorporated into the virtual environment making them part of the performance. This project was partly funded by Arts Council England.

Through a surrealist conceptual narrative the performance explores social shifts in humanity starting with Baldo performing ‘the last show on earth’ as we know it, navigating a brutalist world that defies logic and ending with him inhabiting an ethereal energy driven new world.

The xR performance includes virtual lights programmed from a lighting desk controlled along with the real lighting fixtures as well as augmented reality elements and a virtual set extension.
