Exploring performance + XR
Debate
Format: online
With Gilles Jobin, Corinne Linder, Cenk Güzelis, moderated by Alejandro Martín.
This event moves between debate and virtually-based spectacle, with the aim of showcasing new ways of approaching the performing arts, interpretation and the inclusion of virtual experiences. The famous Swiss dancer, choreographer and director Gilles Jobin brings us his projects titled La Comedie Virtuelle and Virtual Crossing, in a debate with other performing arts pioneers at the junction between performance and digital experience. The innovative meeting, which will be pre-recorded, inserts into the talk fragments of performances and performances made with virtual reality, video mapping and telepresence technologies.
The video will be broadcast on the Ars Electronica channel, On the Channel and will be permanently available as a post on the virtual platform.

Promoting processes of innovation and creative thinking in the young generations is a key mission of ESPRONCEDA – Institute of Art & Culture. This year, in the context of IMMENSIVA we started to create a collaboration within students of very prestigious creative/ tech universities: CITM-UPC/ Barcelona and Karma Lab/Koc University Istanbul, under the mentorship of UCA.
This series of collaboration will produce innovative proposals of hybrid digital realities and low-tech participatory solutions. Digital inclusion, co-creation and opensource tools is the aim of this program.
