EPIC Workshop — Winter 2026

MAGI and MDIT team up to solve, explore, and swim — yes, swim — through this season's most ambitious projects, built inside RMIT's VXLab.

This winter's EPIC Workshop brings the Master of Animation, Games & Interactivity together with the Master of Design Innovation & Technology for a cross-disciplinary sprint. Over the season, mixed teams take a brief from concept to working prototype — trading skills across animation, game design, interaction, and emerging technology.

The work happens in Building 91's VXLab, RMIT's experimental visualisation and immersive space. Students get hands on with kit that rarely makes it into a standard studio — from the Nova Ball to a rack of VR headsets — and are encouraged to build for it, not around it.

The result is a slate of projects that are playful, technically ambitious, and unafraid to get in over their heads. Check back here as the season's works surface.

ACMI Audience Lab

Three MAGI student works have been selected for public exhibition at Federation Square, running through May.

ACMI's Audience Lab gives student and emerging work a public platform outside the usual studio and gallery circuit — shown at Federation Square, in front of a general public audience rather than a graduate-show crowd.

The three selected works span the MAGI cohort's range, from interactive installation to real-time generative pieces, chosen for how they hold up in a high-traffic public setting. It's a rare chance for the works to be experienced by people who didn't come looking for student work — they just found it.

The exhibition runs through May at Federation Square. Details on session times will follow.
