DEMO2024 Keynote Presentations serve as the meeting point between various disciplines, areas of inquiry, creative practices, generations, and career levels. Our invited speakers share their knowledge to bring further context to the ideas and projects incubated at NEW INC, as well as offer an additional perspective garnered from experience, passion, and illuminating creative work in their own fields.

Andrew Thomas Huang delivers his keynote in alignment with the principles of our XR Track. In this presentation, Huang will share his process of constructing exemplary world-building across short and long-form media formats. A figure that is known for creating hybrid fantasy worlds and mythical dreamscapes inspired by his Chinese heritage, queer Asian mythology, and folklore, Huang will speak to his rich and purposeful use of XR tools to produce dynamic imagery on screen.
