Teknopolis™ returns to the BAM Fisher for the third year with an ambitious new program designed to inspire creativity, connect with the future, and embolden a renewed sense of play.
Teknopolis™ lets you access an array of installations that make up the digital arts playground geared for ages 6+ on the main and lower levels of the BAM Fisher Building. Teknopolis™ + VR gives you full access to our interactive, multi-space digital arts showcase throughout the entire BAM facility in two-hour timed-entry sessions. In addition to access to the main and lower-lobby level installations, you will get to experience a selection of immersive VR and 360 film experiences — open to ages 9+ — located on the upper levels of the BAM Fisher.
The Fishman Space will host seven installations by openFrameworks creator Zach Lieberman and other collaborators including Molmol Kuo. The Fisher Lower lobby will feature music and dance installations by companies from Belgium and Montreal. Teknopolis™ +VR participants will have exclusive access to try a selection of immersive VR, AR, and 360 films including Cabbibo’s VR experimental haiku and Baobab’s latest short Crow: The Legend featuring Oprah Winfrey, John Legend and Constance Wu.
