This week’s lecture was
presented by Suse Cairns, who talked about art and technology and its relation
to the internet and social media.
By having an online presence
by either having a website or an account on social media websites, one is able
to promote their art practice through a greater audience and gain recognition
from people around the world. Another
advantage for connecting to the online world is that by participating within online
communities you are able to make connections with people of similar interests,
such as those within the greater art community, ask for help, participate in collaborations
and influence trends.
She
also explored the idea of how the internet, a new modern concept, has become a
new performing environment or space for artist. These ‘Post – Artists’ upload their works
online as ‘posts’ reflecting the concept of post traditional art and through
the nature of the internet, the artist gives up control of their works as moves
and grows though the contubution and response of other internet users.
