PerformTech 2027 positions ArtTech not as a matter of technological adoption, but as a critical, creative, and educational inquiry into the future of performing arts practice. Guided by “Digital Pulse, Human Hearts,” the symposium asks how performing arts institutions, artists, researchers, and technologists may place human intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and artistic judgment at the center of technological transformation.
Inviting scholars and artists to explore Art Tech through Human – AI Co-creation, Liveness, and Knowledge Transfer — shaping cutting-edge discourse and performative dialogue.
2027 Vision: Humanity, Enfolded
PerformTech 2027 seeks to examine Performing Arts and Technology as an attuned practice: one that listens to the complexity of human experience, respects the depth of artistic and the root of cultural knowledge, and critically engages with the opportunities and risks of technological mediation. Rather than positioning technology as a replacement for human creativity, the symposium considers how human and artificial intelligence may co-exist, collaborate and challenge one another within the evolving ecology of performing arts.
Through this symposium, PerformTech 2027 aims to generate cross-disciplinary dialogue across performance, technology, education and cultural practice. It invites scholars, artists, educators, practitioners and researchers to consider how the performing arts can remain deeply human while engaging critically, imaginatively and responsibly with the digital pulse of our time.
