Did you know that many Lumen Prize applicants are independent artists working outside traditional institutional systems? Over 33% of submissions come from emerging artists with fewer than four years of experience, many of whom are independent and self-directed artists. If you’re making meaningful work with technology, you do not need a gallery or museum backing to belong here. The Prize is designed to support artists across a wide range of practices, approaches, and stages in their careers. If your work engages thoughtfully with tech, there is a place for it here. ✨ $30,000 total prize pool 🏆 Three award categories 🌍 Global art prize 🗓️ Entries close May 23 🔗 zealous.co/lumenprize/opport… #LumenPrize #ArtistOpenCall #DigitalArt #ArtPrize #artandtechnology

Worth a read. Great article

This is great I argued something complimentary in the alignDRAW book, that if you don’t know what arXiv is you very likely can’t fully comprehend the last 5 years of digital culture

Always so thoughtful @Lucy2Scribbles

So delighted always to hear @sashastiles about language as a technology, this time in convo with @mpierpont3 in the lovely @NatnlArtsClub 💚💻🖤📚💚

I read this great article by Charlotte this morning and it pulls so much into focus on why the intersection of art and technology is hard to contextualise. What does ‘digital’ art actually mean? Who defines value? And what can institutions learn?

What if art isn’t only a thing but also a way of orienting ourselves around a set of practices, ideas and behaviors? 🙏 @RtClick_Save for the opportunity to summarize Niklas Luhmann’s dense argument
