Lincoln center colleagues explore how technology can transform theatrical arts

At a time of great concern about the effect of technology on arts and culture, Lincoln Center for Dramatic Arts It is a program that welcomes multidisciplinary artists to explore the opportunities offered by the new technology for direct performance and theatrical arts.

Today, the famous New York Center for Performance Arts in the Class of Second College – a group of six artists working in areas of virtual reality to artificial intelligence to the overwhelming 4dsound system.

“I like all of the truly thoughtful people not only thinking about the (work) itself, but how it is compatible with a larger conversation in the arts and technology,” said the Vice President of Lincoln Center.

She added to me that she is “eternal optimistic” on how technology benefits from the arts. When asked about the broader concerns about artificial intelligence, it was reported to be enthusiastic for artists who can use artificial intelligence as another tool in their tool group, such as a blender for sound or a paint brush. “I also suggested that for some artists,” technology is attached to their vision, in exchange for seeing this technology. “

To clarify some of these capabilities, he referred to me Dream machineInstallation by one of the colleagues of the collision, Nuna Hendrix.

He told me about using a mixture of artificial intelligence, VR, and the augmented reality of dumping visitors, especially Bipoc visitors, in AFROFUTIRIST environments, Dream Machine explains how art can help “people who do not see themselves in technology to start seeing themselves – especially black and brown people, especially black and brown women.”

“I think that the more people who are part of the conversation, the greater the chance to have a good conversation,” she added.

The new CEO colleagues, chosen through a filter -based operation, will continue to explore this capabilities. During the next six months, they will be provided with a studio space at the Lincoln Center and Onassis onxAlong with a financial salary and support from the Lincoln Center employees.

Leger, the collision fellowship, added, is part of a wider umbrella of the programs that the theatrical arts center is searching for to support artists in “non -fire” ways.

It is worth noting that the fellowship does not require the participating artists to complete a project or final commission. She told me that the first degree of collision colleagues included an artist who completed “five or six preliminary models” during the program, while another wanted “to take this time to renew the youth of books, read many books, do tons of research, and slow down” – both the two rituals said “completely acceptable methods for this fellowship.”

According to Leigh, many of the projects that came out of that first degree “still germinate”, some of which can be displayed at the Lincoln Center itself. While she described her herself as “doubled on the experiences based on the site”, especially those that include VR and AR and the stretching reality, she also suggested that the injured colleagues can help the Lincoln Center rethink the ways they can reach the masses worldwide.

She said, “I don’t think we are closing the door for anything now.”
