In this discussion, Cheng Huai will guide a conversation about the future of immersive experiences and emerging technologies in art, touching on how technology is transforming storytelling, engaging the senses in new ways, reimagining public art, and fostering collaboration across disciplines.

Join us on November 29th, as we explore the exciting opportunities and challenges these innovations bring for artists today. We will be delving into how immersive technologies are reshaping narratives, creating multi-sensory experiences, and transforming urban spaces into interactive canvases. Our panel will also discuss the evolving role of artists, the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration, and whether we are witnessing a new artistic revolution driven by these mediums of expression.

This event will spark a dialogue as we invite three panelists to discuss their insights and experiences:

• Michal Seta: Sound artist, improviser, and digital arts researcher Michal, a key contributor to SATIE software at Metalab (Société des arts technologiques [SAT]) and the co-founder of Lab148, blends technology and creativity to explore collective and improvised digital art.
• Andrew Gray : A writer, researcher, and creative collaborator at PHI, Andrew plays a key role in the PHI Immersive Residency, helping artists develop concepts, explore emerging technologies, and refine their storytelling. With expertise in XR exhibitions, sound art, cinema, and writing, Andrew brings a thoughtful, contemporary perspective to new media.
• Guillaume Borgomano: Multimedia Director & Innovation Creative Lead at Moment Factory, specializing in large-scale immersive projects that combine generative AI, real-time interactivity, and collaborative approaches to bridge real and virtual worlds.
