Harold Griffith went to see the finalists.
in a brightly lit room that looks a bit like the set of a game show.
A small group of us are about to take part in a piece of immersive art.
individual mobile phones await for us to click and swipe our way through what looks like a film except as we watch the device it's also watching us the artist behind it is karen palmer
The term immersive art will be unfamiliar, off-putting even for some.
Graeme Farrow from the Wales Millennium Centre says there has been some confusion, but creating an international prize should help give it a focus.
If you ask somebody to come and review one of these pieces, you don't know whether you're inviting a theatre critic or an art critic or a gamer critic.
So it hasn't established itself as an art form.
It's an art that hasn't quite found its place yet.
So this is part of why we're doing it, is so that it can find a place and it can be an opportunity for audiences.
Audiences don't have the opportunity to see this stuff.
There are lots of artworks that are happening on smaller scales that are telling brilliant, interesting stories.
The prize-winning work is Coloured, which, with use of headsets and holograms, tells the story of Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old black girl who, in March 1955, refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on an Alabama bus.
Unlike Rosa Parks, who made the same defiant act nine months later, Claudette's story is largely unknown.
Artist Stefan Fukinos hopes immersion brings it alive.
Everyone is their own director in a way, because you can move along the space, that you have real benches, you have window frames or door frames.
And on top of this, you have all the holograms that are adding, but you are free to walk like as you please in this space.
So I think the device push you into emotionally, I think, being part of Claudette's story and not being just an audience.
Already big in Asia and several European capitals, the hope is that the price will gradually make immersive art a little more mainstream here too.
