Delve into Alex’s teenage diary from the 1970s and 80s. Get Punked as you discover the world of punk music from her mum’s living room to a basement dive bar.

Visualise worked with StoryFutures (led by Royal Holloway, University of London), to develop an immersive VR experience that delved deep into the world of punk through the use of the BFI and BBC archive. Access to such a wealth of archive enables the company to build an interactive virtual reality experience that drops you into Alex’s teenage diary as she expresses her growing love for punk music and culture in the 1970s and 80s. Get Punked was developed for StoryTrails as part of the Unboxed festival. Through her teenage diary, we are transported to formative moments in her life including, an incident that occurred in a 1977 conservative living room, and the beginning of her photography career in a 1984 punk dive bar. Using key BFI and BBC archive, plus a mixture of 3D game engine and 360 filming techniques, the audience is encouraged to explore and interact with the environment, revealing key cultural moments while channelling their inner punk.

Suitable for all VR audiences. English subtitles on/off. Suitable in a wheelchair.

Tickets for this event are free and are only available on the door. Each VR experience lasts approximately 30 minutes from the advertised start time. If a current session is full you can wait for the next session as we will try accommodate additional people.
