ART // TECH // PLAY Producers' Edition: What the t*ch?!

Calling all Creative Producers across the performing and visual arts, we would like to invite you to our third Producers' Edition: What the t*ch?!, which will explore the production and touring of artworks involving creative technologies.

Taking place on Thursday 8 February, from 12-6 pm at Cambridge Junction, the Producers’ Edition: What the t*ch?! event will discuss the challenges, opportunities and considerations of making and touring artworks involving new and emerging technologies. Through a programme of speakers and panellists, we will delve into touring and funding models, provide case studies, and collate issues to inform a research programme that hopes to explore what new models for making and touring art/tech work might look like.

Registration opens at 12 noon, with time to engage with tech artworks throughout the day. The main sessions start at 1 pm, wrapping up at 4.45 pm, with extra time until 6 pm to grab a drink and have a chat.
