Week 2 - 11th March 2013



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.
