territory offers encounters with boundaries, cosmic figures, dark forces, partnership, and new worlds. Guardians and Agents confront each other among stars, mist, barriers, wire, and flight — a lush combination of immersive cinematography, dance, animation, visual effects, science fiction, fantasy, and even a touch of horror.
Kinetic Light partnered with award-winning XR company Double Eye Studios and producer/director Kiira Benzing to transform live disability arts performance into an accessible VR experience that surrounds the audience in movement, light, vibration, and sound.

Aesthetic Access for VR
“Disability-led projects—such as Kinetic Light—offer incredible opportunities to rethink the meaning of access and to explore new ways of presenting it.” ~s.e. smith, The Nation
Access is central and generative in all Kinetic Light projects and practices. For territory, the team integrated artistically equitable access practices into VR development and the creation of full-reality immersive technologies. Access includes spatial and multitrack audio description, integrated and environmental haptics, and multiple creative captioning options.
