This article examines the unique intersection of knowledge that occurs in the digital arts learning context. The knowledge shared has emerged from the author’s practice as a teaching artist designing and delivering an immersive and interactive intermedial arts learning experience in the field of physical theatre entitled Creature Interactions: an interactive workshop. Building on Mishra and Koehler’s TPACK model for technology integration in learning contexts, an adapted model for conceiving and understanding technology integration in arts learning is proposed, TPAACK. The revised model presented acknowledges the primacy of aesthetic knowing and affect in arts encounters and its intrinsic presence in arts learning across any domain; digital or analogue.
