The Residents - Inside A Circle Of Dreams
Celebrating their 50th anniversary, the anonymous music/art/multimedia collective, The Residents, brings their iconic avant-garde vision to virtual reality with "Inside A Circle Of Dreams", a stereoscopic 360º immersive performance. Working with an expert Bay Area-based 360 production team which captured the band up close performing live, The Residents invited four internationally-acclaimed artists to re-imagine and re-place the show’s audience and venue with all new animated imagery inspired by three songs. The artists, including Stéphane Blanquet (France), Nick DenBoer (Canada), and Bill Domonkos + Christine Marie (US), each create unique, original, animated stereoscopic worlds which seamlessly blend with the live-action performance to immerse and delight viewers.
