FUTURE PLAY

WHERE TECHNOLOGY AND CREATIVITY INTERSECT

London Tech Week is proud to announce the launch of Future Play, a new feature at the heart of our show that focuses on technology enabled interactivity.

We’ve teamed up with the highly respected UAL Creative Computing Institute, harnessing their creative technology discipline to deliver a series of truly interactive experiences at the centre of the exhibition floor that illustrate the intersection of creativity and technology.

This feature will run across all 3 days of the Olympia event, so feel free to drop by to immerse yourself in the cutting-edge intersection of creativity and technology.

Location: Grand Ground Hall

Access: Free to all pass holders

20 STUDENTS / 9 PIECES

Drawing from across the diverse cohort of fashion, art, photography, design and media students we see how computational power becomes creative energy, revealing new possibilities through human ingenuity and technological capability. Each piece invites participation, creating unique moments where viewers become collaborators, their interaction shaping and transforming the work in real-time. It's a space where code enables art, where digital is the norm, and where the next wave of innovation emerges through the power of creativity and experience.
