What a time it was at NewImages this year!

From a great judging session that Walid Kilonzi did with Mike Salmon and Giusy Amoroso for the Virtual Worlds competition—well deserved recognition to Durk van der Meer!

To an engaging and insightful discussion with Emma Hamilton, Tupac Martir, and the great moderator Aude-Émilie Judaïque.

The work Michele Ziegler, Federico Anselmi, Sarah Arnaud, Guillaume Decory, and the wider team are doing is much needed in the space right now—hats off to them.

And to the many new friends and connections made throughout the week.

We are looking forward to seeing where NewImages goes next!

We’re proud to share that Walid Kilonzi, has been selected as a Virtual Worlds Jury Member for the 2026 edition of NewImages Festival.

None of this would have been possible without those who believed in the vision before the trail was even marked.
To our partners:
🤝 WWF Kenya – for turning conservation into conversation, and storytelling into strategy
⚡ Electric South, National Film and Video Foundation, and Ford Foundation – for funding the dream and fueling the creative risk
🌱 KIPRE – for opening the gates of Oloolua and guiding our forest journey
This wasn’t just a game launch — it was a constellation of partnerships rooted in purpose.
Thank you for walking with us.

We launched ARGO, Africa’s first public environmental Augmented Reality (AR) game, in the heart of Oloolua Forest — and something magical happened.
🌿 Children from several schools played Argo and met the wardens of Oloolua for the first time.
🎨 They also participated in a coloring activity that let them give Argo’s characters their own creative spin.
🎤Experts in conservation, sustainability and biodiversity from the Kenya Institute of Primate Research, National Museums of Kenya, and WWF shared their insights and visions of conservation powered by creativity.
📸 And for one day, the boundary between tech and trees disappeared.
With over 200 guests including school children, educators, funders, artists, conservationists, and diplomats, the ARGO launch was more than a game drop — it was a story circle.
Thank you to every partner, parent, child, and teacher who helped us bring this vision to life.
This is only the beginning.

We are beyond thrilled to share that ARGO, the groundbreaking Augmented Reality conservancy game, has been featured in The Standard — one of Kenya’s oldest and most prestigious newspapers! 📰

In their feature, The Standard praised Fallohide for our unwavering commitment to "creating original African realities that celebrate African culture and innovation in technology." They described ARGO as "an imaginative and timely blend of conservation, storytelling, and immersive technology," and highlighted Joanna Oluoch, ARGO’s visionary creator, as "a beacon of Africa’s next generation of creative tech leaders."

But that's not all — ARGO has also been selected as one of the Top 7 Kenyan creative projects to receive funding from the Création Africa 2025 programme! 🇰🇪🇫🇷
🎮 ARGO is more than just a game—it's an environmental storytelling experience built in Augmented Reality, inspiring youth to protect our green spaces. Developed with production support from Fallohide and powered by funding from Electric South and the French government, ARGO will educate, empower, and ignite a passion for conservation across Kenya and beyond.

At Fallohide, we are incredibly proud to have brought immersive strategy and XR production to this groundbreaking initiative. Rooted in creating original African realities, we believe in the power of African stories and African technology to shape the future.
