Announce

The Journées d’Informatique Théâtrale (JIT) were established in 2020 as a meeting place for computer scientists and theater artists, following the example of the Journées d’Informatique Musicale (JIM), where musicians and computer scientists have been meeting for thirty years to establish the new discipline of computer music. At the intersection of computer science and theater studies, the new disciplinary field of computer theater is typically dedicated to the study and development of new forms of theater creation and transmission in digital spaces.

Among the many relevant topics, we will favor the sharing of experience and technical contributions concerning programming languages and creative tools offered by computer scientists to theater artists and technicians ; the analysis of new scenographies and dramaturgies made possible by technical innovations in theater computing ; and the attempts to define this new discipline, its scientific and artistic stakes, and its links with the neighboring fields of computer music, digital arts and digital humanities.

This fourth edtion will take place in Paris 8 Université in Saint-Denis, north suburb of Paris, october 7-9, 2026. It is coorganized by the digital art team Images Numériques et Réalité Virtuelle (INREV - https://inrev.univ-paris8.fr/) of the research lab Arts des Images - Art Contemporain and  performing art research lab Scènes du Monde (https://scenes-monde.univ-paris8.fr/), of Paris 8 University, steered by Association Francophone d’Informatique Théâtrale (AFIT) and supported by the program  PEPR ICCARE.
