The Wanderment Creative Jam

SEE YOUR DIGITAL ART IN REAL SPACE Something is breaking through. Other universes are leaking into ours and you can make one. On Oct 24-25 The Wanderment Creative Jam JOIN DISCORD FOR TIMELY UPDATES Something is leaking through. Bits of another universe are showing up around SJSU and downtown San Jose. Most people can't see them. Spend a weekend with a team inventing one of these Intrusions and putting it into the real world in augmented reality, where anyone with a phone can walk up and find it. An Intrusion is a small piece of another world that slipped into this one: a creature, an object, a sound, a scene. It's an early sign of the bigger rupture coming in The Wanderment , an AR story set in downtown San Jose. What leaked through, and whether it followed Vera (the woman who vanished through a rift), is up to your team. You'll build with Membit , a free, no-code AR app. If you can use a phone, you can build an Intrusion. 3D modeling, illustration, animation, video, sound, and writing skills all help, but none are required. Teams also need storytellers, performers, location scouts, and people who can pitch and promote. Anyone! You don't need to be an SJSU student, or a student at all. Artists, designers, filmmakers, performers, musicians, writers, coders, and the curious are all welcome. The best Intrusions will come from mixed teams. Leave with a live, public piece for your portfolio, plus skills in: Time travelers from the future who study the multiverse, and they'll notice. On the tour, volunteers dress as Campbellians (robes, soup cans strapped to foreheads) to inspect every Intrusion. Everyone else films it, playing it straight: who are these people staring at things that aren't there? Everyone votes, and the winning team takes home the trophy! The best Intrusions can become official, credited parts of The Wanderment if their makers want them to. You keep ownership of what you make.
