Abstract

This workshop aims to engage participants in collectively imagining future Inclusive Augmented Performances inspired by the examples of the Brain Body Jockey project which features the collaboration of a DJ with ALS and a group of researchers leveraging human augmentation technologies to deliver radically different live music performances. The goal is for the workshop to function as a discussion and ideation platform that integrates technical, artistic, and social perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of inclusive human augmentation in the context of art and creative expression.
