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

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.
