Visit the Virtual Factory today
Manchester is currently building
The Factory, a major new cultural space where the art of the future will be made – and for its
Virtual Factory series,
Manchester International Festival has invited some of the world’s most exciting artists to create free online artworks that imagine the shape of things to come in its future home.
Your Progress Will Be Saved is an online experience created by avatar artist
LaTurbo Avedon that reimagines The Factory as a space within
Fortnite – and this Virtual Factory commission has already been visited by more than 1.5 million people. Dive deep and you may find solace if you stay within this alluring world – but your progress will be further rewarded if you find your way out…
Explore Your Progress
Will Be Saved for free via the
Virtual Factory website – and at 3pm on 12 November, join a panel of artists, writers and video-game developers for
Imagined Realities, a special free online discussion about games that aim to blur the real with the digital.
