SMG PRESENTS TED@CANNES: THERE IS MAGIC IN THE FUTURE
In a time where disciplines cross-pollinate and technology and creativity are colliding in new and thought-provoking ways, we find ourselves at the brink of another creative revolution.
As part of its conversation on what’s next, Starcom MediaVest Group presents a special TED session, including an original performance developed exclusively for the Festival by Marco Tempest, world-renowned techno-illusionist.
Through digital props and virtual imagery, he uses magic and illusion as tools to explore the future of technology, augmented reality and storytelling. SMG’s Global CEO Laura Desmond sets the stage and Marco follows his performance with a discussion of his techniques with TED’s European Director, Bruno Giussani.
