The third Ecologies of Participation (EoP) panel discussion will explore the role of technology in participatory art projects. In the post-digital age, humans and technology are inextricably entwined. Technologies augment our bodies, mediate our communication, and shape our understanding of ourselves in society. This panel discussion brings together artists, curators and scholars to explore how technology is used to enable digital participation and collective knowledge production. We will look at technology as a participant with generative AI contributing to a co-creative process in stimulating our collective imaginations, and how technology, mediates shared experiences through networked VR experiences and virtual world platforms.

Panelists:

• Helen Knowles, Artist & PhD Candidate, The University of Northumbria, UK
• Zabia Jabbar, Founder & Curator of HERVISIONS, UK
• Debbie Ding, Artust0scholar and PhD Candidate, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

About EoP:
Ecologies of Participation (EoP) is a transdisciplinary research collaboration between Fine Arts, Architecture and Media and Cultural Studies. Through panel discussions, workshops, artistic projects and symposiums, the initiative aims to bridge research and practice by providing platforms for developing experiments with creative practice, technology, and urban space. It was initiated by Yim Sui Fong (Assistant Professor of Fine Arts), Melody Hoi Lam Yiu (Research Assistant Professor of Architecture) and Ashley Lee Wong (Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024. The initiative aims to develop practice-based collaborations to explore the role of creative arts in society.
