SXSW 2012

Throughout history, technology has been responsible for artistic movements often influencing entire genres. Typically, these movements impacted styles, composition, or more subtle, conceptual meaning implied by the work. In recent years, a few, key technical advances have produced an interesting twist changing not simply popular subjects or composition but changing the way we may experience art.This session will look at how today's technology impacts the industry of art, define a digital "art experience", and what it means to extract work off the gallery walls. We will cover what new ways art will be consumed, how it will be distributed and owned, and what it means to be both an artist and an art lover of the future.
