The Minister for Innovation and Skills David Pisoni, a major supporter of delivering Electric Dreams, said: ‘Emerging and immersive technologies are offering innovative ways for creative minds to connect with new audiences and we are thrilled to have the mix of
innovators, entrepreneurs, technology creators and digital pioneers here at Lot Fourteen for the Electric Dreams conference. It’s a great opportunity for South Australians to come together with the delegates and spark new collaborations into the future.’ If you’re looking to connect with the wider creative community while also fi nding ways to be inspired to formulate your own visions for the future, this is the event for you. Electric Dreams ultimately provides an opportunity for everyone – from artists and technologists to performers and curators – to keep on top of the creative and commercial opportunities of emerging technologies, encouraging conversation, debate and interaction along the way. n The virtual reality experiences are scheduled to run from Wed 19–Sun 23 Feb during Adelaide Fringe 2020 (Fri 14 Feb–Sun 15 Mar).
