Day Pass price, excl. fees & taxesAs the immersive landscape diversifies, the need to build adaptability into the process has never been greater. Domes have multiplied, virtual reality has resurfaced as mainstream technology, and immersive venues have opened across cities worldwide. This panel explores pipelines that ease a work's creative and technical adaptation, along with its distribution and reach, examining how mixed reality and hybrid installations can make multi-platform distribution a founding design principle rather than an afterthought.
Moderated by Josh Goldblum, Founder of Futurespaces, a conversation series exploring the future of experience design, panelists include Samantha King, Head of Programme at VIVE Arts, whose global commissioning practice includes the touring VR concert Playing with Fire with Yuja Wang; Line Katcho, Montréal-based composer, new media artist, and lead artist on MUTEK’s Immersive Iterations project; Mathieu St-Arnaud, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Normal Studio, specialists in cross-format content adaptation and Merel van Helsdingen, Founder and Managing Director of Nxt Museum, the first fully immersive fine arts museum in Europe.
At the heart of the Forum's Symbiotic Frequencies: what does it take for a work to stay alive across contexts?
Please note: this activity will be in English, with live transcription available.
