RSVP to attend the Interpolations 1 keynote address.
The BMO Lab in Creative Research in the Arts, Performance, Emerging Technologies, and AI and the Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies invite you to “Interpolations,” a new academic symposium devoted to the interfaces between computational media and the performing arts. Over a dozen major scholars of digital performance, virtual reality theatre, live media art, computational dance, and more will gather in Toronto to share their work, provoke conversation, and set out new directions for scholarship in an area that increasingly envelops all contemporary stage (and cultural) practices. These conversations and debates will culminate in a keynote address from renowned theatre artist Annie Dorsen and philanthropic leader Sam Gill: “The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Commodification.”
