The magazine for XR.
Xtra Realities is a quarterly print magazine dedicated to extended reality as a creative medium.
Featuring essays, interviews, criticism and visual work, it covers the ideas, artists and stories shaping XR today.
The stories, artists and ideas defining XR
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.
The magazine looks at XR through culture, craft and authorship, covering the people, practices and perspectives defining the medium.
XR needs a space where its language, history and creative landscape can be documented and discussed.
Made for reading
Xtra Realities is designed as a physical magazine.
A curated editorial object created for sustained reading and long-term reference.
Each issue is carefully art-directed, with attention to layout, typography, and paper. In a fast-moving field, print offers a slower space for context, depth, and editorial perspective.
