Furthermore, I3DA 2026 will be a special edition, that will include visual and interactive aspects of immersive media, such as related computer graphics, LIDAR scans, photogrammetry, immersive world building, digital archaeology, 3D visualization, and hardware and software applications across both fields. The aim is to open new possibilities for collaboration, networking, and deeper understanding between complementary sensory domains in immersive media. Venice, Italy.
Akousma - International Festival Of Immersive Digital Music (formally Réseaux des arts médiatiques) is a concert production is a festival and company that showcases works by electroacoustic artists and collectives in Montréal. These works are presented via an immersive sound system, and they take several forms: acousmatic (tape music), mixed (tape and instruments), live (live electronics), video music, or music integrated into other art forms such as dance, performance, or installation.
The 2026 edition is entitled “Supernova”. Its starting point is the image of the supernova as a moment of extreme compression and explosion at the same time: an event in which microscopic processes, immense energies and cosmic dimensions overlap. Translated into artistic thinking, the festival explores how sound, space and time can be experienced at their boundaries – where familiar models become unstable and new forms of perception emerge.

We are thrilled to continue the Global Sonic Research Residency 2026 at ZKM | Hertzlab, partnering with Arts Council Korea (ARKO) and the European Center for the Arts HELLERAU. This year, we select one Korean artist/researcher in addition to an already chosen artist/researcher roster, working at the frontiers of sonic arts to craft an immersive spatial sound experience probing the theme »Exoplanetary Voices«. This residency spans two premier European hubs for spatial sound and performance: ZKM | Hertzlab in Karlsruhe and HELLERAU in Dresden. Proposals should harness spatial audio to speculate on alien listening, extraterrestrial longings and human-exophonic entanglements.
