What is IMMENSIVA 2025 – SOCIAL BLOCKS XR?

IMMENSIVA, in its sixth edition in Catalonia, establishes itself as a festival-laboratory dedicated to experimentation in extended reality (XR), artificial intelligence, collective interaction, and social impact. This edition focuses on creating immersive prototypes that promote inclusion, diversity, and sustainability, putting empathy and creative technology at the service of social change.
The SOCIAL BLOCKS XR residency brings together artists, developers, performers, and social agents to co-create immersive works based on digital storytelling, movement, music, and AI, designed for museums, educational centers, and international festivals.

What does the residency offer?

Full access to Espronceda’s technical space: virtual reality, holographic projectors, haptic devices, 3D sound, and more.
Intensive workshops with specialists in XR, AI, and digital art.
Visits to leading creative and cultural centers in Barcelona.
Mentorship and technical support throughout the creative process.
Participation in IMMENSIVA Expo and IMMENSIVA Day to showcase projects before professional audiences and institutions.

Impact and continuity

The projects developed are “Social Blocks XR”: adaptable and replicable formats that can be implemented in cultural centers, schools, festivals, and institutions, promoting social transformation through technology and creativity.
IMMENSIVA is not just a festival but a platform for cultural and social innovation connecting creativity, technology, and ethical commitment.
