Convergence

The event is a collaboration between the Conservatoire’s research groups CREATIE, CORPoREAL and ARIA.

The implementation of technology in interdisciplinary artistic practices and research has been creating new implications in multisensory approaches and extended embodied creativity. In these frames, the hybrid live and virtual performance space is becoming even more of a place where artists can experiment with what we call “phygital” and “somatech” experiences. These are hybrid forms of artistic expression mixing computation and embodiment, a form that opens new avenues in multisensory inclusivity, digital embodiment, and technological interactivity.

How can the artist orient themselves around the ever-expanding possibilities of technological tools, techniques, and stages?
