Hands in the controls, VR headset strapped on, you’re ready to climb the Himalayas and enter the Temple of the Tilting Buddha.

Panel: REGENERATE X
Auditorium, Lakeside Village, University of Miami
For the 10th anniversary of Filmgate Interactive, we’re tackling the theme of REGENERATE X: Remix X, Reimagine X, Revive X. In an era where the echoes of past upheavals reverberate loudly, "REGENERATE X" emerges as a call for collective reinvention— whether through ecological rejuvenation, audacious reimagining of aesthetic paradigms in arts and culture, or resilience and resurgence post COVID. And with the evolution of generative AI, we're reminded that regeneration isn't always a return to a former state: regeneration can radically redefine. Setting the tone for FilmGate Interactive X, this panel will posit how art and technology are vital agents in any process of renewal.
