Worldbuilding and play: Workshop on creating an exploratory video game experience
Dreams ignite our imagination. In this workshop, we begin there: with the dream as an inspiration, we will build a collective 3D collage inside Unity and New Art City, an open-interactive world.
Participants will be guided through demonstrations to work with 3D objects, images, and soundscapes to create a shared “dreamland” together. We’ll use tools like blender, and GIFs to design immersive spaces that reflect our collective vision.
The workshop will take place at Pogon Mislavova 18, November 16, from 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm. The workshop is free and applications are open through the form until places are filled.

Dr. Hiba Ali is a digital artist, scholar, and professor of Performance, Play and Design (University of California) whose visionary practice moves across immersive digital environments, sculpture-based installations, and performance. Based between Santa Cruz and Berlin, Ali has emerged as a leading voice at the intersection of contemporary art, technology, and embodied knowledge.
Ali coined the term digital somatics to describe a pioneering artistic methodology that brings together the body, mind, and spirit through game design, worldbuilding, and narrative systems. Working with virtual reality, 3D animation, augmented reality, and computational media, Ali creates transformative digital worlds that function as portals for healing, collective imagination, and liberatory futures.
