Ars Electronica Garden Milan

Hybridizing life experiences

The MEET Garden in Milan explores the interconnections between Nature, Technology and Humanity. Its contents will dig into the hybridization between physical and virtual experiences – up to advocating a “bio-based society.” MEET’s garden will also explore the production and emerging use of VR and XR in the performing arts. An inspirational talk on the emerging practice of integrating biological processes into art and digital creativity will be held by William Myers, the author of two widely acclaimed books: Biodesign and BioArt. Dance the distance is a live guided tour through a virtual dance studio. Participants as avatars will be able to meet the virtual dancers and join an open rehearsal for a VR dance performance in progress. It’s an experimental project to test new forms of choreographic creation and dance performances in virtual and augmented reality or VR devices.
