> The increasing ubiquity of systems of information manipulation and
> communication presents particular challenges to the art gallery as an
> institution. At one level these challenges are practical; how to take
> advantage of the new means of dissemination and communication these
> technologies make possible; how to compete in an increasingly
> media-saturated world; how to engage with new artistic practices made
> possible by such technologies, many of which present their own
> particular challenges in terms of acquisition, curation and
> interpretation. At another level the challenges are far more profound;
> they concern the status of institutions such as art galleries in a
> world where real-time technologies radically bring into question the
> way they operate.
>
> In this unique 10-session course, staff from across Tate will discuss
> how digital information and communications impact on their work.
