Collision – Where Social Media Meets Fine Art…Or Not…
29 July 2010 at 1pm
Now that the whole world is blogging, tweeting and face booking, what does this mean for the image? Is this obsession with technology for pleasure, self promotion or the hard sell? Does it begin with creativity but end up being financial? If you give more, do you get more back? Are there really free marketing possibilities and what do they look like? How do you integrate the demands of sharing technologies into your life and business? Where do creativity, well being and a sense of community live in your world? What will the fine art of the future look like and who will be making it, showing it, and where? How will artists be able to find their way through this myriad of electronic riddles and live to tell the story?
Speakers include Simon Roberts, Christian Payne and Mark McPherson.
