'''Realities in Transition 2''' (RiT2), also known by its open call title ''"The Reciprocal Trap"'' and its residency theme ''"Unwritten Worlds"'', is the second edition of the EU-co-funded [[Realities in Transition]] project researching the impact of extended reality (XR). V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam) is one of the partner organisations hosting the residency.

== About ==
'''Realities in Transition 2''' (RiT2) is a residency hosted at [[V2_ Lab]] for the Unstable Media, Rotterdam, run as part of the second, EU-co-funded edition of the international [[Realities in Transition]] programme. The V2_ leg of the residency is titled ''"The Reciprocal Trap"'', within the broader RiT2 theme ''"Unwritten Worlds"''. This page documents the residency itself: who took part, what was made, materials and methods used, and where the outputs live — not the original open call.

== Residency brief ==
Residents co-created a single shared XR artwork exploring the feedback loop between human behaviour and AI-driven world-building — how gestures, choices and "common sense" actions can be captured as training data for autonomous agents that generate simulated worlds in real time. The residency was structured as a hybrid, communal production process rather than individual commissions.

== Timeline ==
* 1st online phase: June–July 2026
* In-person residency at V2_, Rotterdam: August–September 2026
* 2nd online phase: October–November 2026
* Final presentation: February 2027, V2_, Rotterdam

== Participants ==
''To be filled in — resident artists, creative technologist(s), and V2_ staff/mentors involved.''
*

*

== Process & materials ==
''Document tools, software, hardware, datasets and techniques used during the residency here as work progresses (e.g. XR/game engines, sensors, AI models, fabrication).''

== Outputs ==
''Document the resulting artwork(s) here once produced.''

[[Category:Residencies]]
[[Category:XR]]In the age of agentic AI, Extended Reality shifts from a space of immersion into a system of extraction. RiT2 invites artists and designers to co-create a shared artwork during a residency exploring the hidden loop between human labour and machine world-building. Drawing inspiration from Greg Egan's ''Permutation City'', the project explores how human behaviour — gestures, choices, "common sense" actions — can serve as data to train autonomous AI agents, generating dynamic, shifting simulated worlds in real time.

The hybrid production residency is designed as a communal creation process for a single joint artwork, with all residents contributing according to their individual expertise and vision.

== Timeline ==
* Open call: 4 March – 12 April 2026 (deadline extended)
* 1st online phase: June–July 2026
* In-person residency at V2_: August–September 2026
* 2nd online phase: October–November 2026
* Final presentation: February 2027, V2_, Rotterdam

== Consortium ==
Realities in Transition 2 is co-funded by the European Union and consists of:
* Seconde Nature (France)
* L.E.V. (Spain)
* Meet (Italy)
* Nova Iskra (Serbia)
* V2_ Lab (The Netherlands)
* Beta Festival (Ireland)
