iX SYMPOSIUM | Hybrid Utopias: Territorial Acknowledgement in the Era of Spatial Computing

Spatial computing has seen the emergence of digital spaces, now inhabitable and increasingly embedded into our familiar physical environments. These hybrid experiences of reality radically transform our relationship with territories.

In this novel landscape, an immersive round table held in the Satosphère, SAT’s large dome, brings together Scott Benesiinaabandan, Anishinaabe (Obishikokaang) intermedia artist; Giovanna Borasi, director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture and member of the Living Lands working group that coordinates decolonization initiatives at the CCA; and Catherine D'Amours, artist and professor at École de design UQAM; Bertrand Nepveu, co-founder of Triptyq Capital, founder of VRvana, and lead developer for the Apple Vision Pro headset; They will address key questions: What type of territorial recognition would be appropriate to express this new alliance between humans, the living, and the entirety of nature? How can we conceive, realize, and inhabit these new open, living territories?

Immersive live visuals will compliment the session.
