19/2/2021
We are excited to be joined by Laura Hendricks who is a mixed media artist and lives in Utah, USA, and Wells Fray-Smith, Assistant Curator of Special Projects at Whitechapel Gallery.
In this episode, we talk about the opportunities and challenges digital technologies present to the art world by talking to a practising artist and assistant curator to give us different perspectives on this important topic.
During our conversation, we will look at:
>how technology is impacting art and art galleries
>how the art and technology landscape has evolved
>how digital technologies have changed how artists create their work and how art galleries put on exhibitions
>whether tech brings audiences closer to art
>impact of COVID19
>what does the future look like for art and digital
This episode is hosted by HP’s Fiona Livingston
