9th IE Foundation Prizes in the Humanities

Imagine photographs expanding into 3D animations — engaging with art in ways you've never seen before through Mixed Reality.

For the 9th edition of the IE Foundation Prizes in the Humanities, Not Keepin' It Real developed a Mixed Reality installation in collaboration with IE University's IT Innovation team. The experience transformed traditional 2D award photographs into dynamic 3D animations, allowing visitors to engage with the artwork at their own pace.

Elements literally broke free from flat surfaces — blending storytelling with artistic exploration in a way that redefined how the ceremony's honoured works were experienced by guests and faculty.
