Symposium: Interpolations 1 – Oct. 21, 2023

Interpolations 1 was a one-day symposium at the BMO Lab devoted to the interfaces between computational media and the performing arts. A dozen scholars of digital performance, VR theatre, the tech industry, computational dance, and more gathered to chart connections and pathways for this increasingly vital area of research. The day culminated in a keynote address “The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Commodification.” from renowned theatre artist Annie Dorsen and philanthropic leader Sam Gill.

We intend to renew this symposium as an annual event  – to learn more or get involved, contact Doug Eacho at douglas.eacho@utoronto.ca .
