In the age of COVID-19, art is happening simultaneously everywhere, at all times, and nowhere. Our relationships to physical space, objects, and now virtual audiences are reconfigured and mediated by expansions and distortions in the digital realm: intimate glimpses into people’s homes and studios; new experimental possibilities and platforms; and the alternating affective charge and utter depletion of one too many Zoom meetings. Join Eben Haines (artist and founder/curator of Shelter in Place Gallery), Rashin Fahandej (transdisciplinary artist and assistant professor of emerging and interactive media, Emerson College, Boston) and Jimena Bermejo (performance artist, Director of Dance at College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, and Mobius, Inc. groupmember) in conversation with curator Leonie Bradbury as they discuss (and demonstrate live!) the ways they are expanding artistic practice on digital media platforms.
This event is part of a series of summer talks co-curated and co-hosted by the AREA CODE ART FAIR in partnership with Northeastern University's Center for the Arts in the Northeastern University College of Arts, Media and Design. Programs are FREE but require advanced registration at this link: https://camd.northeastern.edu/event/art-in-and-the-digital-space/
