Art and Emerging Technologies: XR = What's It All About?

Abstract

This session explores the intersection of art and emerging technologies, focusing on Extended Reality (XR). We consider how artists harness XR, AR, and VR to create immersive experiences that push the boundaries of traditional art forms. By examining case studies and personal projects, the discussion will uncover how these technologies enable new ways of storytelling, interaction, and audience engagement. The lecture will also address the challenges and possibilities that XR presents for artists today, offering insights into the future of art in the digital age.
