Join a conversation between Tin Drum founder Todd Eckert and Seb Chan (ACMI) on the creative and technical production of Kagami, the award winning mixed reality experience of one of the final performances of Ryuichi Sakamoto. This conversation will examine the complexity and conversely, the new opportunities still afforded by mixed reality, as well as discussions of multi sensory performance, production techniques and more.
Eckert produced the award-winning feature film Control about Ian Curtis, the lead singer in Joy Division. In 2012, he joined the mixed reality technology group Magic Leap and served as director of content development before leaving to found Tin Drum in 2016. Eckert directed Marina Abramovic in The Life, which premiered in 2019 as the world’s first mixed reality, large-scale public performance.

This session was presented in connection with AsiaTOPA.
