The MEET Garden in Milan explores the interconnections between Nature, Technology and Humanity. Its contents will dig into the hybridization between physical and virtual experiences – up to advocating a “bio-based society.” MEET’s garden will also explore the production and emerging use of VR and XR in the performing arts. An inspirational talk on the emerging practice of integrating biological processes into art and digital creativity will be held by William Myers, the author of two widely acclaimed books: Biodesign and BioArt. Dance the distance is a live guided tour through a virtual dance studio. Participants as avatars will be able to meet the virtual dancers and join an open rehearsal for a VR dance performance in progress. It’s an experimental project to test new forms of choreographic creation and dance performances in virtual and augmented reality or VR devices.
Hybridizing life experiences
Meet the Media Guru with William Myers
Meet the Media Guru is a lecture held by William Myers at MEET’s headquarters in Milan. The event will be live-streamed and a video will be recorded for on-demand viewing. The 30-minute talk and 10min Q&A session will also take place on-site for an invitation-only audience at MEET’s immersive room. The Meet the Media Guru format has a focus on audience engagement and interaction through different tools such as live polling platforms, a social newsroom and a multi-layered strategy of promotion and social cast to bring people together and disseminate ideas.
Dance the distance
Dance the distance is a 30 minutes live-guided tour through a virtual dance studio. A hybrid format of vocal and virtual interaction through VR dance. The experience will involve 20 onsite participants at MEET ‘s immersive room (dancers, choreographers, VR designers, students, artistic researchers, artist, artistic directors) + 20 virtual participants connected via Mozilla Hub.
