Transcaling : beyond boundaries
Cosmotroping at the iX Symposium
Recording of Transcaling : Beyond boundaries / Transcalarité : Déconstruire les frontières
As part of the 2nd edition of the iX [Immersion・Experience] Symposium, the Société des arts technologiques hosted the immersive conference Transcaling : Beyond boundaries. I helped to curate the speakers and opened the event with a cosmotroping session, followed by a conversation moderated by Rémi Quirion (CA), Chief Scientist of Quebec, with Derrick de Kerckhove (FR), Normand Brunet (CA), Jonathan Fisher (US), and myself.
From the SAT:
The Society for Arts and Technology announces the second edition of iX Symp, an international symposium on immersive experiences that will take place on its premises, in Montréal, from May 20 to May 24. IX 2015 repeats the concept that made its first edition a success: a series of main conferences in the morning are followed in the afternoon by artist talks, workshops and demonstrations. The premiering artworks are presented in the evening in the Satosphère.
IX 2015 looked towards the future of immersion, by taking inspiration from the past, to contribute to the expansion, hybridization, emergence and transcaling of the medium. These four themes guided the discussions and presentations during the event.
