I participated in Immersion Festival 2019 at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, along with experimental, installation, sound, visual, and video artists. The Magic Lantern setup was on display for attendees to interact with the zoetropes
"Immersion is a two day, multidisciplinary experimental arts festival. The festival will incorporate two nights of main stage performances, daytime workshops on May 4th, a visual arts gallery, video art projection installations, and (as the centerpiece) a 16.2 channel sound dome installation..
The goals of the festival are to bring experimental art forms into an accessible format for the Champaign Urbana community and to act as a catalyst, encouraging artists to pursue emerging methods, formats, and mediums in their own work."
