The Mixed Reality Performance Symposium: UBC is the second of six symposiums hosted by mixed reality producers Toasterlab, and will explore extended and mixed reality performance. Artists and new media creators will share modes of working and recent successes in VR, AR, and immersive theatre. Attendees will gain insight into the production process and hands-on experience with 360VR cameras, VR headsets, geolocation, motion capture and other creation and distribution tools.

Moderated by Ian Garrett

Lunch Break: 11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Creator / Technologist Relationship: 1:00 – 1:45 p.m. – VIDEO
Each of the panelists will have a few minutes (about 8) to discuss their work. There will then be a moderated discussion about the creator/technologist relationship. This is to be an informal conversation and Q&A with the audience about your work, the process of making your work, and how you’ve blended art and tech. We are hoping for an honest conversation about the successes and struggles that artists have with realizing their vision when we are (sometimes) dependent on areas, people, technologies, etc. that are beyond our knowledge base.

Each of the panelists will have a few minutes (about 8) to discuss their work.
