Given the NewImages Festival’s remit to welcome diverse artistic voices into the immersive space, programing “Noire” was an obvious choice. An augmented reality adaptation of a lesser-known case from the Civil Rights era, “Noire” brought much pedigree to this year’s Paris Xr showcase.
The project tracks the true story of Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in the segregated South who refused to give up her seat on the bus nine months before Rosa Parks did the same. Colvin’s act helped kick off the Montgomery bus boycott, but her courage never quite got the same traction as that of Parks – in part because she didn’t make for as compelling a media figure.
Ironically, that’s exactly what compelled French author Tania de Montaigne, who sought to explore that era – and its wider questions of racism and resistance – using figures untouched by hagiography. The author’s 2015 biographical essay...

Earlier today, the developers behind Assassin’s Creed Mirage conducted an Ama (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit and hinted at the possibility of Basim’s story being extended.
Creative Director Stephane Boudon and Art Director Jean-Luc Sala answered only a handful questions, one of which was,
“Did you ever think about making a Dlc/new storyline contents for the game, considering how well it was received by the community?”
Just last year, Stephane had confirmed that Mirage would be a standalone game and wouldn’t receive any story expansions. In the Ama today, Stephane reiterated,
“We’re thrill by the reception of Mirage! Mirage as been design as a standalone experience without any Dlc plan. However, we have ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim, surely.”
Since the developers have refuted the possibility of a Mirage Dlc twice now, this new statement could mean that Basim...

90 Day Fiance personality Stephanie Matto is speaking out about a harrowing incident involving a stranger who tracked her down and visited her home.
The 33-year-old reality TV star-turned-entrepreneur detailed the scary occurrence on social media, telling her fans and followers, “I was part of a romance scam on Facebook.”
In a recent TikTok, Stephanie called the experience one of the “scariest” and “most odd” of her life.
Stephane recounted the events over the weekend, explaining that it all unfolded over just 24 hours.
On Saturday, January 27, at 11 p.m., Stephanie heard a car outside her home and looked outside to discover a man getting out and approaching her residence.
Stephanie’s driveway is long and private, so as she told her fans, there was no reason why anyone should have been at her home at that hour.
