Chimerik’s Virtual Live Art Database Launch Party

Curious about how you can use technology in your own projects but don’t know where to start? This is the perfect place! We are excited to share our research through a compiled living database resource that highlights different softwares, online tools and creative pipelines. Chimerik’s Virtual Live Art Database cultivates a space to learn, grow and network.

You are invited to an afternoon of community dialogue and a guided walk-through of Chimerik’s newly developed Virtual Live Art database. Gather over light snacks and refreshments, and ponder new possibilities for new media technology within a live performance framework

The idea for the Virtual Live Art Database was born at the height of the pandemic, when the live arts sector was challenged with having to shift from a physical stage to a virtual stage, from presenting in person to entirely online. We are thrilled to share what we have learnt thus far with the community and hope we can reflect together on how we can continue to integrate these learnings into the future.

About the initiative: 

At Chimerik 似不像, we’ve long observed a gap in the integration of digital technology with live-performance art. It’s a struggle many artists encounter, navigating necessary softwares without adequate resources or support, which only further perpetuates the inaccessibility of New Media arts. This is why we developed the Virtual Live Art database, to make technology more accessible to our artistic community. By spotlighting artists and their innovative contributions, we’re fostering collaboration and community spirit, focusing on the collective rather than the individual.
