Emerge 2016

The 2016 event, “The Future of Sport 2040”, was held on April 29, 2016 at ASU’s Wells Fargo Arena. The space, which typically hosts NCAA sports, was transformed into a crossroads of ideas, demonstrations, and collaborative art-science installations.

A festival of athletic, artistic and scientific visitations from the future featuring theatre, improvisation, interactive experiences, design prototypes, & multimedia performances. What will sport look like in 2040? What would you like it to be? How can we steer development of the many elements of such a broad enterprise as “sport” to ensure it reflects our values, and desires and answers the cravings for competition and collaboration so common in our species?
