I've now published all 30+ hours of my Venice Immersive 2025 coverage. I categorized the projects into a dozen elemental genres to help navigate it. There's 64 possible combos of all four elements, but 12 primary dyads. I unpack it all more in this LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/kentby...

In each episode, I dig into the elemental center of gravity, as well as the contextual domains explored, story that is being told as well as some of the archetypal themes and character of the story. My coverage kicks off with an interview with Doug Liman on ASTEROID: voicesofvr.com/1750-doug-li...

Here's a visualization of all 64 orientations and combinations of the elements if you consider the position of all four elements and different centers of gravity. I dive into the process-relational and semiotic philosophical foundations of the elements in this post: voicesofvr.com/1787-blendin...

Here's the four-fold Venn diagram that shows the Blending of the Elements. More details are here: voicesofvr.com/1787-blendin... YouTube video of lecture: www.youtube.com/watch?v=01M5... PDF of slides: voicesofvr.com/wp-content/u... Previous canonical 2022 talk: voicesofvr.com/1389-element...

Vertical orientation of the 64 possible orientations and combinations of four elements. The top two elemental centers of gravity are similar enough to create dozen elemental genres. This PDF shows how I’ve applied this to my Venice coverage d315f3wfn5d33f.cloudfront.net/wp-content/u...

Here’s an example of how this approach can help to elucidate all of the different elemental qualities of presence of a piece like “Asteroid.” I interviewed Hollywood director Doug Liman with his 30 Ninjas team + Google Android XR Max Spear at Venice Immersive: voicesofvr.com/1750-doug-li...
