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.
