I can't get enough of the cover for my book, THE AGE OF IMMERSION, out June 2027! Designed by Rob Farmer, it's a shimmering, pixellated play on Monet's Water Lilies, one of the OG true "immersive" artworks. And yes, long subtitles are *in*. astrapublishinghouse.com/product/the-...

Went to attend the showcase of an immersive hackathon last week, and wrote up some thoughts on the event. Also mentioned: Lost Horizon Night Market, Boxaroo's Four Doors, Night Mind's Candy Bowl, and the narrative hackathon I participated in almost 15 years ago.

This is of my favorite things I’ve ever gotten the opportunity to make: a bizarre, disturbing small-town nightmare which unfolds like a puzzle to be solved. So many wonderful people came together in the freezing cold to make this film happen, and I couldn’t be more grateful. More to share soon!

This is a nice read! I believe the dream of TINAG is kept alive by newcomers who all, very understandably! are first simply mesmerised by the concept. If you stick around you'll see why it didn't quite work – and why it's not just a bad thing that we've moved on.

Alex Hera @alexhera.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Should have seen that coming... I find it really unfortunate that ARGs like the Backrooms campaign (and frankly, a number of other recent film promo ARGs) are pretty poor examples of what the format is capable of, yet they are also among the most visible ARGs. It gives peoples a skewed impression.

I recently attended London Experience Week, a conference filled with fascinating insights into the experience industry. One of the highlights was being given the opportunity to pitch some of the future ARG projects my company, Unfictional Productions, is working on. Exciting things ahead!
