TRANSmission: Enjoy Community Extended
Dortmunder U, Discussion, Talk
The networking and discussion format Enjoy Community brings together artists, curators, developers, students, and partner institutions to discuss the present and future of digital arts.
Keynotes, panels, and open discussions explore artistic strategies, exchange processes, and collaborations within the NEXT LEVEL framework. Here, theory and practice, art and technology, discourse and interaction converge.
The format was initiated by the Academy for Theatre and Digitality and takes place regularly; for the NEXT LEVEL Festival, it was expanded to a full day.
The event will be held in English from 1:45 PM.
