Immersive Creation Training Programme by Society for Arts and Technology (Canada)

In collaboration with Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), Canada, the Arts x Tech Lab launched a practice-based training programme for artists and creative practitioners exploring spatial and interactive media. Participants gained technical skills, learned creative strategies, and developed their projects through hands-on experimentation, open collaboration, and real-time audiovisual creation.
