HERMIONE MITFORD (CEO) and DAVID BENNETT (founder) of Berlin Based Mimic Productions will explore the concept of DIGITAL HUMANS and their use in film, games, entertainment and the arts.

DIGITAL HUMANS are on the rise - we have recently seen some becoming celebrities, gaining followers, and creating influence, others have populated films, games, VR experiences or commercials.

Graphics technology, storytellers, and social media are all merging together to bring these new beings to life. But what are DIGITAL HUMANS really, how do they come into the world, who makes them, how, and why?

HERMIONE and DAVID will explore some of these aspects and address Mimic’s technological approach as well as the applications for this technology.
