The third Ecologies of Participation (EoP) panel discussion will explore the role of technology in participatory art projects. In the post – digital age, humans and technology are inextricably entwined. Technologies augment our bodies, mediate our communication, and shape our understanding of ourselves in society. This panel discussion brings together artists, curators and scholars to explore how technology is used to enable digital participation and collective knowledge production. We will look at technology as a participant with generative AI contributing to a co-creative process in stimulating our collective imaginations, and how technology mediates shared experiences through networked VR experiences and virtual world platforms.
