Welcome to Being Immersed, a monthly live Q&A series hosted by Erin Reilly, Founding Director of the Texas Immersive Institute. This series features boundary-pushing voices in immersive media who are reshaping the future of storytelling, design, and innovation.
🌍 In this episode, we’re joined by Juliana Loh, an internationally recognized VR artist and immersive storyteller based in Canada. Named one of the Top 100 Women in XR, Juliana is known for crafting emotionally resonant digital experiences that explore themes of home, identity, and imagination.
Through a rich blend of traditional art, interactive media, spatial storytelling, and game design, Juliana creates deeply human-centered narratives that inspire empathy and reflection. Her work is both poetic and powerful, immersing audiences in symbolic worlds that invite introspection and connection.
✨ Join us for a thoughtful discussion on immersive design, symbolism in digital spaces, and how storytelling can transform hearts and minds.
