Musicians, artists and curators from all over the world are getting together to engage ideas about the future prospects of live entertainment. The rapid development of interactive technologies in recent years has put many new tools into the hands of musicians and performing artists to conceive and produce new show formats.

What will take hold?

Totally new forms of interplay involving performers and audience members are emerging. What possibilities is this opening up? Which ones will entertainers use and how will they deal with them? In short: What will the rock show of the future be like?

A Chat with OK Go

Members of the rock band OK Go and Ars Electronica Futurelab staffers will discuss whether the boundaries separating presentation and participation will disappear, and how audience involvement can be configured without diverting attention from what’s happening on stage.
