Actress, Darkstar and The Correspondents are among the first acts announced for Convergence 2016.
Now in its third year, Convergence is an established series of events, celebrating musical pioneers, visual artists and technologists.
This year will see events at the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall and the Roundhouse. Alongside live performances, 2016 will see Convergence also host its first bespoke concert. Pieces of a Man: The Gil Scott-Heron Project is a celebration of the life and legacy of the American soul and jazz poet and feature the likes of The Invisible's Dave Okumu, Jamie Woon and Kwabs.
Glenn Max, festival director, said: ‘While there is no single theme to this year’s array of installations, talks, and concerts, a recurring idea is the re-materialisation of culture beyond its digital vaporisation.
‘Technology provides all of the instruments for innovation but - for it to mean something to our human culture - we need the disruptive ingenuity and emotional investment of artists.’
Tickets for all announced shows are available via convergence-london.com.
