Flow

The symposium comprised a series of sessions, each featuring two speakers: a scientist and an artist or immersive-reality practitioner. The speakers first presented their approaches and then reviewed the existing and prospective links between their domains of expertise. Following each session, generous time will be devoted to questions from the audience.
