[refresh] + [redraw] roundtable discussion
Wednesday 7-9pm
Subterranean Gallery
4124 Warwick Blvd APT B
Kansas City MO 64111
Join in on a roundtable discussion about digital artistic practices at Subterranean Gallery featuring artists Eric Scrivner and Eric Fickes. The discussion will center around the topic of what it means to be a maker that utilizes tech as a medium. This is becoming even more relevant for all artists as we need to utilize the Internet as a hub for promotion and documentation of our practices. Do concepts, code, or images start/change the way we make?
How does the screen space function in the gallery? What about the domestic space? We have many more questions slated to lead the discussion, and please bring your own!
