The New Year is approaching quickly, and as the weather begins to get colder, we begin to reminisce on the past year, reflecting on both the positive, and the things that made us stronger. Today we would like to reflect on one of our highlights from 2019; the pop-up XR Art Exhibition, DimensionX: Beyond the Frame, that we, FXG organized with our friends from Nreal. Were you there? We hope these details and never-before-seen photos help you to transport back to an amazing two days of creativity and sharing.

The Devil’s in the Detail

Nreal and FXG worked around the clock to make sure that every single detail of DimensionX helped to bring participants back to a child-like state of play and nostalgia. Many of you may remember that our good friend, Fredrik Glisscot announced the event via riddle on social media. With each hour, our collective industry was able to pull together more and more details and show up at the right time and place. We saw some amazing teamwork that week as everyone came together and solved the mystery!

You may also remember our special re-entry bands. Were you able to get your hands on one? The first one-hundred friends to arrive each day were rewarded with special, retro calculator watches sporting the Nreal red, blue and white colors! If they didn’t add up to enough for ya, perhaps you ran into one of the special Nreal floppy discs that were sprawled out around the city. By the way, has anyone checked to see if they have any files on them yet?

We had craft tables set up around the venues for those creatives in the room who like to keep their artistic grooves flowing. Some of the fantastic doodles created were even ported into DoodleLens on the Nreal Lights!

All of the graphics for the event were hand illustrated by FXG and Nreal’s design teams, who had a ton of fun cartoonafying the venue! Lastly, as this was an event organized by two China-based companies, we only found it appropriate to bring the richness and deliciousness of China to the exhibition through food; including egg rolls, sesame balls, and fried bananas!

FXG’s Art Director, Bai Wei created VR sculptures of various creatures wearing Nreal Light devices, which more displayed on screen throughout the event. Baiwei also hand-carved Nreal stamps/letter seals that were available for use at the craft tables!
