MEET Digital Culture Center, for the fifth consecutive year, presents the New Atlas of Digital Art – Immersive Realities Conference which offers an overview of the developments in immersive experiences, creating an extended space for interaction and collective exploration at the MEET Digital Culture Center in Milan, June 20 – 21, 2024.

Installations and experiences will animate MEET during the two days of the ATLAS, offering the public the opportunity to experiment with and immerse themselves in immersive realities. Day 1, June 20 at 19:00 was concluded with the talk and performance by Jean Michel Jarre. Throughout his illustrious career, the composer, performer, producer and cultural ambassador has continued to break new ground with his music and his mastery of creative innovation. From his pioneering role in electronic music, to his use of technology and multichannel audio production, to his recent explorations in the realms of VR performance and the metaverse, technology is at the forefront of everything he does.

On Day 2, June 21 at 19:00 for the MEET THE NATURE exhibition, the opening of the ATMOSPHERIC FOREST artwork by Latvian artists Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits will take place. The VR installation visualizes and translates the relationships between plants and climate into sound, revealing the patterns of interaction that exist between pine emissions and weather conditions. The installation is on view at the Meet the Nature exhibition, MEET Digital Culture Center from June 21 to September 1, 2024, every Saturday and Sunday, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Atlas is part of the S+T+ARTS in the City project.
