FIRST INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT ON IMMERSIVITY: ART, TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION

Technology and artistic creativity: an alliance for change

With the support of BARCO | in collaboration with Promo PA Foundation, Immersiva Livorno srl and Bright Festival

The word “technology” derives from Greek “techne”, i.e. art in the sense of knowing how to do something, and “logia”, i.e. discourse, treatise. Therefore, the very etymology of the word “technology” defines its close connection with art. The last event of the summit  addressed the theme of immersive art as a medium for creating a new Agora and opening up new channels of dialogue between companies and artists in order to develop the sector.
