Part 2 of 4: Rethinking Presenting and Touring in a 5G fast world

This future-casting conversation saw 55 participants who joined in to rethink performing arts presentation and touring models in light of major technological leaps due to the arrival of 5G networks, big data analytics and machine learning through AI.

  1. Tammy Lee and Caitlin Troughton, Culture Creates, Montreal discussed AI applications and the interplay of technology companies and arts organizations
  2. John Charette, creative director and 20-year partner at Banfield Agency, discussed technology visions, 5G innovation and the arts from his vantage point as an ad agency creative who has envisioned our technology future along with global technology companies like Alcatel Lucent, Nokia and Iridium Satellite Communications.
  3. Tim Yerxa, Fredericton Playhouse, brought it all down to earth by focusing on “how all this fits together.” From future proofing his planned performing arts centre to considering the relationships between those in the live arts and the new arts that may emerge in the digital world.
