Asian Futurism: Talks on Sinofuturism, post-cyberpunk India and more
Sudden Beams 3: Asian Futurism is a programme of presentations that dives into the cutting-edge ways artists are harnessing digital technology – like AI, video games, and virtual museums – to reimagine and reshape Asian heritage. See how these innovations are breathing new life into cultural traditions and crafting bold, visionary perspectives on Asia’s past and future.
Programme highlights include exploring Elsewhere in India’s latest project, Antara, which features an Indo-futuristic museum within a video game. And a captivating sonic archive project by Memeshift that merges traditional Gamelanic sounds with contemporary electronic music. We will also hear how artists and art spaces can use creative technology to better represent marginalised narratives from across Asia.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet and hear from artists and professionals from art, technology, and gaming worlds.
