Simulation Sessions is a free monthly event series facilitated by the World Engines Lab, incubated at Gray Area. In response to the growing prevalence and sophistication of virtual simulations and environments, these sessions seek to sustain a local community of 3D designers, artists, and technologists, facilitate peer teaching and learning, and spark dialogue about the social, cultural, and political dimensions of building digital worlds.
All, regardless of skill or experience level, are welcome to attend and bring their current projects (in any 3D platform, including Unreal, Unity, Godot, Three.js, Babylon.js, Rhino, Blender, Houdini, Spline, Womp, TouchDesigner, Custom 3DAI tools, and more).
Each session begins promptly at 6pm with a brief talk or mini-workshop led by a member of the community. At 6:30pm, participants are invited to work on projects, seek technical advice, mingle, and meet others engaged in the practice of building simulations.
Chloe is Head of Product, Designtime at Inworld AI, a company reimagining the intersection of technology and creativity in games. She works closely with Engineering, Research and Design to bring Inworld’s latest technology into accessible tooling for customers. Prior to Inworld AI, Chloe led Product at Neeva AI (acquired NYSE:SNOW) and graduated B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University with a Human-Computer Interaction concentration and Art Practice minor.
The World Engines Lab, led by Delta_Ark Studios and incubated at Gray Area, is focused on making a large persistent simulation with powerful agents that artists can use/collaborate with for live performance. This world can be adapted to create games, films, sculptures, agent-based scientific and interaction experiments and artificial life. Researcher-artists in the lab will use these systems to explore multi-species relations (humans, AI) and the future of evolution (on this planet, or others), articulating different narratives and ramifications of human-agent interaction.
