With a panel of scientists, musicians, theater artists, game designers, consultants, and others, producer and director Meiyin Wang will investigate how the arts can "disrupt, inform, and influence emerging technologies," in favor of inclusivity for example. There will not only be discussion, but also demonstrations and performances. The lineup boasts such stars as comedian and jazz trumpeter Ahamefule Oluo, UW neurobiologist Thomas Duele, his colleague James Coupe at the UW Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media, writer/game designer/theater maker Janani Balasubramanian, Devised Theater Initiative's Andrew Kircher, and black-focused VR studio founder Dafina Toussainté McMillan.
