New Frontiers @ Art Gym

Curated by Sharifa Moore

Our world is global and heavily mediated by the use of technology. We can consider its impact by looking at the work of artists, often the first to examine and respond to cultural shifts in society. With an abundance of online resources, such as: free tutorials, open access software and freeware, as well as inexpensive apps, the entry point to digital exploration is open to a wider audience, and in this way subverts the traditional barriers of contemporary art allowing vast opportunities for global collaboration and personal expression. The current pandemic has highlighted digital art as a medium that is timely and offers new ways of understanding the human relationship with technology. New Frontiers surveys the countless modalities in which artists approach the creative process and computational thinking in order to produce digital artworks.
