"Tech As Art: Supporting Artists Who Use Technology as a Creative Medium" report launch event.
On June 29, 2021, the Arts Endowment hosted the virtual "Tech As Art: Supporting Artists Who Use Technology as a Creative Medium" report launch.
This Arts Endowment report is the result of a two-year research initiative exploring the multifaceted creative practices of artists who engage with digital technologies. The research examines the creative infrastructure supporting tech-focused artistic practices and provides insight into the existing challenges and opportunities faced by artists and organizations working at the intersection of arts and technology.
Opening remarks were provided by Ra Joy (chief of staff, National Endowment for the Arts); Margaret Morton (director of the Creativity and Free Expression, Ford Foundation); Victoria Rogers (vice president of Arts, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation); and John Maeda (artist and technologist).
Following opening remarks prominent arts funders and artist/technologists were paired together to discuss report findings and provide insight into the creative ecosystem existing at the intersection of arts and technology.
