As part of our 2024 Virtual Production Creative Residency, run in collaboration with Árdán and Galway Culture Company, we are delighted to welcome Cordula Hansen and James Gilna, Co-Founders of XYZ Technical Art Services GmbH to the Centre for Creative Technologies. XYZ Technical Art Services are a studio specialising in virtual art department services, virtual production, and concept development, based near Cologne in Germany.

A key part of our residency programmes is to enable the sharing of skills, experience and expertise between our local creative communities, the research community, and the creative practitioners who are taking part in the programme. As part of the Virtual Production Creative Residency, Cordula and James are offering a series of short sessions and workshops to share their experience and invite collaboration and discussion.
