Paneldebatt: 'Festival i en digital verden' // JazzHub

Panel Debate: Festival in a Digital World (in norwegian)
What do physical meeting places mean in a time when digital platforms dominate our daily lives, and we increasingly meet through screens? For a long time, festivals have been places where people gather to experience music, art, culture, and community. But what role do they play now, in a time when we can experience concerts in VR, stream festival experiences from home, and keep in touch with a sea of people without leaving the couch? And how does this digitalization affect festivals?
