Where the audiovisual and new media art industries are heading, and what it means for people who actually produce shows. Display technology, immersive formats, event production economics, AI tooling, and the market forces underneath all of it.
Four threads. Display technology — the LED-versus-projection crossover, brightness, price per square metre. Immersive formats — permanent galleries, fulldome, large-scale installations. Production economics — what venues pay, what rental costs, where margin actually sits. AI tooling — what is genuinely usable in production and what is still a demo reel.
Market figures come with a source and a date. Projections are marked as projections, with the assumption behind them stated in plain language. Where an analyst number contradicts what we see in our own sales data, we say that too. You should be able to check every figure here against its origin.
