About this Event
One of the biggest challenges facing artists in 2026 is the harrowing experience of navigating the digital world.
Technology has had a huge impact on the world of art itself, influencing both the creation and the experience of art in many ways. We will discuss the challenges and opportunities available through technology, predominantly through social networks and online spaces and how we as artists can operate with this changing landscape.
