Damir will lecture for Project FLUX, free Blockchain art academy for female creators. Supported by the European Union, FLUX is a collaboration between cultural and technological organizations from Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia: Labin Art Express (Istria, Croatia), MEET Digital Culture Centre (Milan, Italy), MOTA Museum of Transitory Art (Ljubljana, Slovenia), and Alice in Blockchains (Zagreb).

FLUX academy is an online program, which will be held from October 14 to 18, 2024, featuring 10 educational online sessions (lectures and workshops). Damir will lead the sessions on storytelling and immersive design. Artists will explore the art of storytelling in immersive environments, focusing on the unique aspects of interactive narratives and worldbuilding in extended reality (XR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR) for digital artists.

Artists will delve into various storytelling techniques, including narrative structures and worldbuilding to demonstrate how effective storytelling can enhance engagement, emotional connections, and business success. The lecture will provide examples from game design principles and popular immersive experiences showcasing how these technologies can create powerful, immersive storytelling that captivates and engages audiences.

FLUX plans to connect 90 female artists with mentors who have professional backgrounds in blockchain, art, marketing, strategic planning, and other sectors, providing a comprehensive education. The most successful participants will have the opportunity to exhibit their work in 2025 in three European cities: Milan, Ljubljana, and Labin, as part of events and exhibitions organized by project partners.
