Workshop
28 SEP 2019
Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Warsaw, PL
In an age of rapidly developing technology, an artist or curator may find themselves beholden to trends as a means to remain current, if not socially engaged. In the world of contemporary arts, theatre or film, do the technological advancements of today eclipse the power of a subject matter and form?
As an artist we must ask ourselves what are the key properties of an artwork we wish to be highlighted? and where do we desire for our work to be seen? As a programmer or curator, shouldn't we welcome, if not, accept artworks that have taken advantage of modern advancements in technology such as VR, AR, Facial Recognition etc. and ensure that subject matter and form is at the forefront of why it is to be exhibited.
Devised and led by Joseph Cutts, this workshop looks to offer insight into what can be perceived as a trend by virtue of its currentness, where that perception has come from, and what worlds welcome and are beginning to welcome such art forms.
For Warsaw based early career artists & project creators working in a developing technologies.
