Xtra realities
about
Xtra Realities is a quarterly print magazine dedicated to Extended Reality — augmented, virtual and mixed reality — as a cultural, artistic and creative medium.
Founded and edited from Portugal, the magazine addresses XR through essays, interviews, criticism and commissioned visual work, focusing on the ideas, artists and practices shaping the field today.
As XR evolves, the conversation around it remains fragmented, split between technical coverage, industry news and product cycles. Xtra Realities brings the focus back to the work itself: to creative practices, authorship and the cultural significance of XR as a medium.
Each issue is carefully art-directed, designed as a physical object for sustained reading and long-term reference. Print offers a slower space for context, depth and editorial perspective in a fast-moving field.
The magazine is international in scope, with a European perspective grounded in Portugal, and distributed across specialist cultural, academic and creative networks.
First issue: June 2027.
