Town Hall Meeting: Theater & Digital Media

Vanessa Hannesschläger (EU), ACuTe Consortium (EU)

Since the beginnings of media arts, artists have been integrating technology into performative settings, but also theater makers have always been keen on experimenting with new technologies. Over the years, museums, theaters, performance venues, and cultural institutions showing these types of performances have gathered expertise in how to enable and facilitate these works, which is often challenging on a technical and practical level. With a focus on Theater and Digital Media, Ars Electronica puts this topic at the center of this year’s program. This Town Hall Meeting invites culture professionals, technologists, and technology providers to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and build new connections.
