Overview
This panel brings together creators who use technology in very different ways to build worlds, shape narratives, and design participation. Together, these artists will explore the role technology plays in their work: when it’s foundational, when it’s additive, and when it meaningfully changes what an audience can experience. Could their projects exist without the tech they use? What does technology unlock in terms of narrative, universe, and agency? And how does it help them differentiate their work in an increasingly crowded immersive landscape? This conversation looks beyond flash to examine how technology, when thoughtfully integrated, can elevate immersive storytelling to the next level.
