Pablo San Gregorio from Shaman Garage will host 

This workshop is designed to collectively build a playable environment. The participants create props and figures in clay and use photogrammetry to digitize them. In the virtual space the participants will be able to walk through the scenarios they invented and collectively cartograph the landscape. This activity is an opportunity to approach the concept of worlding for video games and immersive 3D installation in a ludic way.

Pablo takes care of the material, you just need to come with yourself.

Reality Check Festival

Once every two month, Sickhouse joins RMT next to play in the Rijksmuseum Twenthe. The Sicktours are an invitation to reconsider our behaviours within the walls of the museum, look behind the curtains, feel the floors, be silly together. 


This time, Sicktour will focus on sounds. Exploring the museum inspired by ASMR*, we will search the hidden melodies of the Rijksmuseum. 

also known as "brain tingles,"  it can come from particular sound frequencies or visual things. 

Meeting at the entrance of the museum at 19.45
