SXSW Sydney: The Digital & Immersive Future of The Arts Panel with Art Curator, Emilya Colliver, Technologist, Simone Clow and Digital Artist, Mia Forrest
The year is 2050. Do we still think AI is inherently bad, or are we collaborating with it to make art, write screenplays and compose scores? Will art curators become redundant? What does ‘digital’ art look like today? Is immersive art still interesting? How has technology transformed our experience of arts and culture?
Technology has always been a crucial part of how humans live, work and create. So too, the history and the future of the arts is guided by the hand of technology.
Starting with the place of digital art in the traditional cannon, we will explore what the future of the arts is. We will consider the huge potential impacts of digital and immersive art to increase wellness, inclusivity and engage communities through the combined forces of human creativity and technology.
Are we on the correct path to unlocking the potential of technology and the arts? We unpack the importance of skilful curation, openness to experimentation, and public support for arts education and programs. Featuring speakers with varied expertise, we will deliberate what is on the digital horizon and how to get there.

The Lightbulb Moment with Art Therapist Elise Slater
*The Lightbulb Moment *explores electrifying moments of realisation and inspiration from entrepreneurs in diverse fields.
Hosted by cultural entrepreneur and author, *Emilya Colliver,* we ask entrepreneurs about their “lightbulb moment” i.e. their creative epiphany, to find out what brought it on and how they followed through with it to get where there are today. Each episode is packed with practical tips to work towards your own lightbulb moment.
In this episode, we chat with *Elise Slater*, an Art Therapist who finds her holding space for individuals and groups to inspire their own a-ha moments of insight and realisation. Using deep listening and intuitive art-making, Elise helps her clients to make sense of and see their own life stories through a new lens.
Elise Slater has had a career facilitating lightbulb moments, from her work as a Trend Forecaster in London where she was tasked with predicting future design trends to inspire creative industries, to mentoring design students in Sydney to come up with radical concepts for social enterprises and new businesses.
In this episode, we discuss Slater's own light bulb moment that came on a hill in India, when both her social enterprise craft project was born and she realised her calling to become an Art Therapist. That was the beginning of the Live Softly Art Therapy Studio in Sydney and the Live Softly Nepal Craft Project.
