[Industry Direct] PHI Studio & Agog Invite Applications for a Four-Week Residency for Immersive Artists

Sure, here it goes:

Okay, so here’s the deal. Imagine this — you’re this artist or some kind of tech wizard who fiddles with XR stuff (yeah, that means fancy virtual and augmented reality), and you’ve got this idea. It’s itching to break out, but you’re like stuck because, well, life. You need room, time, maybe an expert or two. Good news, my friend! PHI Studio’s got your back, sitting right there in Montreal with their Immersive Residency thingy. It’s open again, calling all North American creators — so yeah, that’s you Canadians, Americans, even you folks in Greenland and all those other chilly spots.

They’re barking up the tree of “XR for Impact” this time. No idea what that means, really, but sounds deep, doesn’t it? If you’re into pushing boundaries in art or storytelling through XR, they want to hear your pitch. Fancy, right?

Alright, so here’s how it works. They stick you in their Montreal HQ for four whole weeks. And yeah, they promise support from some top-notch folks at PHI. Heard they’re big shots in creative stuff, like they did this thing called Space Explorers: THE INFINITE. Sounds like sci-fi to me, but apparently, it’s great. You’ll get to mess around, test your ideas, maybe even see them fly. They’re looking especially for stuff with a twist—like, if you’re using XR, AI, or immersive sound in ways nobody expects.

Don’t worry if your masterpiece still feels like a hazy dream. They’re all about figuring it out together, as long as you’ve got the guts to dive in. And hey, they’re really keen on hearing from all sorts of folks, especially if your journey’s been a bit of an uphill climb.

Oh, almost forgot to mention — there’s some cash in it too. $15,000 CAD to keep you fed and inspired, plus they sort out where you crash, and the travel bit’s on them too if you’re not local. Sweet deal, right?

You think you fit? Here’s what you do: hop onto their application page, skim through what they want (don’t skip this part, trust me), and throw in your proposal before June 24, 2025, 11:59 PM EDT. In case curiosity bites, fire off a message to [email protected].

Really, I have a feeling they just can’t wait to peek into that quirky brain of yours.
