Future Folk: Remixing Culture Through Digital Technologies is a one-day event exploring how traditional cultural practices can be reinterpreted through emerging technologies. Bringing together choreographers, digital artists, technologists and researchers, the programme examines how tools such as AI, motion capture and immersive media can reshape the transmission and experience of cultural forms.
Featuring speakers including Rebecca Evans, Chieh-hua Hsieh, Donald Shek and Friendred Peng, the event unfolds through talks, demonstrations and exchange. It creates a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, inviting participants to reflect on the relationship between tradition, innovation and the future of cultural expression.
