586. Sean Rogg: Virtual Reality, human connection (IN ENGLISH)

Technology is often said to disconnect us from one another, but there are exceptions. Sean Rogg is an artist and futurist who continually explores how human emotions, empathy, and connection can be triggered, manipulated, and deepened through technology and collaboration. By making the audience an integral part of his experiments, he has broken away from traditional art practices and instead embraced the realms of futurism and transhumanism to push the boundaries of human connection.

His The Waldorf Project has been evolving for over 15 years. We met him in Stockholm after the premiere of the VR performance Virtual Serenity, a powerful glimpse into how technology can be used to merge consciousness, art, and immersive experiences. And this is just the beginning. // Podcast host: Christian von Essen // Check out our previous English episodes and subscribe to the newsletter (in Swedish).
