TALKS
Adelin Schweitzer regularly speaks at festivals, universities, art schools and professional meetings. Drawing on twenty years of practice with virtual, augmented and mixed reality, his talks question how immersive technologies reshape the relationship between artists and audiences, and challenge the techno-solutionist promises that come with them. Recurring topics: XR and live performance, DIY and disnovation, mediation and inclusivity in immersive spaces, the economy of digital creation.
