Immersive Art: Works-In-Progress presented by Laboratory for Artistic Intelligence
Creators, this is an open space for you to share what you're up to in your tech-art projects. New projects, works-in-progress, and ideas in development all welcome. A gentle space to be seen and heard, a chance for you to feel supported, and get some audience (and industry) reactions.
Stick around afterwards to hear some of Toronto's top immersive experience producers, agencies, and gallerists in an industry roundtable.
Hosted by Helen Yung of Laboratory for Artistic Intelligence

The Ripple Effect & Immersive Experiences presented by Reflektor Digital & FITC
Immersive is one of the fastest-growing categories in experience design, and one of the least agreed-upon. From teamLab to Meow Wolf, Moment Factory to DataLand to the touring Van Gogh rooms, the work is expanding faster than the language we use to describe it.
This roundtable brings together the artists, technologists and producers who actually build these worlds. We define the medium out loud, then trace its ripples: how one room changes what a city expects, how studios seed other studios, and how experiences and relationships formed can pay out for decades.
Moderator: Simon Conlin, EVP and Head of Production, Reflektor Digital
