"In recent years, the role of XR technologies has been consolidated as a virtual space where alternative realities can be experienced and, at times, shared. XR in art has taken on a specific character: it is a place where what is forgotten, forbidden, or simply not possible in our physical world can be realised, allowing our senses to embrace an..."

Neural [book review]
"Whenever a new technology has become accessible to the general public, new magazines dedicated to it have soon been launched, followed by others focusing on art and that specific technology (Neural, for example, stemmed from the early VR and pre-Internet era).
