This article presents a personal, critical reflection on the XR work presented at PQ23 that explores virtual aesthetics, emergent cognitive paradigms and their impact on the art-function of performance. The discussion considers the impact and potential of extended reality (XR) forms for managing this 'art-function' at the point of live encounter. I will consider critical frameworks that explore the psycho/physical impact of VR on the user (Popat, Thomas and Glowacki) and phenomenological approaches that aim to disrupt the political limitations of normative presentations of 'possibility' (Escobar, Grosz, Ahmed) in order to develop a framework within which work presented at PQ23 might be examined.
