New media art is a global phenomenon: a rapidly changing
and dynamic field of creative practice which crosses
conventional categories and disciplinary boundaries,
challenging our assumptions about art.
- How do curators engage with new media art?
- What makes a good curator of new media art?
- What can we learn from the pioneers of this field?
- What does the future hold for curating new media art?
- What common ground exists with other disciplines?
These and other issues will be explored at Art-Place-
Technology. Speakers include figures who are shaping the
practice and theory of curating new media art, including:
