Theater, for many an epitome of analog, strictly human-based art, has always been a forerunner in the exploration of technologies for new forms of storytelling and stage performance.
The latest hype of virtual and augmented reality has caught the attention of people from the theater, and new artistic forms are being developed focusing on the narrative and performative potential of this medium. This interest is reciprocal, because the technical-design challenges that come with the increasing social dimension of new technologies could also benefit a great deal from the expertise of theater.
In collaboration with the European Theatre Convention, Ars Electronica is hosting a special program to deepen the reciprocal exchange of practical experience about the work on the intersection of digital media and theater.
