DIGITAL PRACTICES FOR ARTISTS
What is digital art today and how can you work with digital dimensions in your artistic practice?
The workshop was developed in collaboration between Majken Overgaard, Rune Brink, CAKI – Center for Applied Artistic Innovation and VEGA to introduce the challenges and opportunities that lie in developing an artistic digital identity, practice and strategy.
The workshop offered knowledge on digital cultures and how you can within these navigate and develop your artistry across physical and digital formats and possibly develop new business models around it.
When the internet came into existence in the 1990s, it changed our lives – especially our relationship with culture. Business models and privileges were changed forever. The power that record and film companies, radio channels and television stations had held since the infancy of the media was distributed to others and more. Cultural life changed as an extension of the strong growth of the internet, and understandings of who creates, distributes and innovates art and culture have been turned upside down – and where we experience “the new.”
Technology continues to play a bigger and bigger role in our lives. Often our first meeting with artists and art institutions takes place online – we find music and art on digital platforms and experience across time and place. At the workshop you learn more about what digital art is today and how you can work with digital dimensions in your own practice.
