Virtual reality harnessed by remote Indigenous teens to make leap from comic to Future Dreaming film
Four Indigenous teenagers, inspired by their remote community home in WA's Pilbara, are using their school holidays to create a futuristic world with a new virtual reality film titled Future Dreaming.
At its core the comic is a space opera, but it is clear the kids draw their inspiration from their land and culture.
Since launching NEOMAD, the comic has travelled to cities around the world such as Seoul, Los Angeles and Lodz in Poland.
Nelson Coppin visualised his world depicting the Pilbara landscape of red dust, spinifex and ghost gums with trains carrying iron ore traversing across his traditional homeland.
Max said virtual reality was a different way of storytelling but he identified it as part of his own cultural legacy.
