Technology and the Future of Art

Contemporary technologies mediate our experience of the world, for better and for worse. They also mediate how we make, consume and understand cultural objects and experiences. Technology and art have always informed each other, even the idea that technology and culture are separate is a relatively new one on this continent. How they will intertwine, challenge, shape and amplify each other in the future provide a fascinating area for exploration. Let’s go on a journey there together.
