Technology is ever-evolving, and because of that, it's inevitable to think of all the ways it can merge with other subjects, such as art. We already see this fusion in immersive exhibitions. In this slogging thread, our technology channel discussed the latest news about artists who were challenged to create an immersive exhibition. This Slogging thread by Sara Pinto, Jack Boreham, Mónica Freitas and Abeer occurred in slogging's official #technology channel, and has been edited for readability. Sara Pinto Feb 23, 2022, 12:42 PM Will tech be part of the future of art? https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/02/23/descend-into-creative-madness-at-rome-s-latest-immersive-exhibition Sara Pinto Feb 23, 2022, 12:44 PM "The exhibition, 'Crazy: Madness in Contemporary Art', has taken over the indoor and outdoor spaces of the Choistro del Bramante building, to display contemporary works in which visitors can immerse themselves." "The artists were tasked to create works of different types following a single rule: make them immersive." Sara Pinto Feb 23, 2022, 12:45 PM Limarc Ambalina Mónica Freitas Jack Boreham Abeer have you ever been to an immersive exhibition? Do you think tech will have a big role in the future of art and culture? Jack Boreham Feb 24, 2022, 5:00 PM Sara Pinto, without a doubt! We are already seeing it with NFTs and VR. For better or worse art will change dramatically with tech Mónica Freitas Feb 24, 2022, 6:03 PM Sara Pinto, I've never been to an immersive art exhibition, but I've always been curious about it. I think it gives art a different dimension - something you can fully appreciate and that can engage with your other senses. Sara Pinto Feb 28, 2022, 12:11 PM Jack Boreham, this future where art and tech merge gets me very excited. I can't even think of all the cool things that will be able to do. Have you ever been to an immersive exhibition? Or any other kind of tech and art combined Sara Pinto Feb 28, 2022, 12:12 PM Mónica Freitas, I thought the same! I think it opens many possibilities of how you can enjoy art. In what other ways do you think we will see art and tech merge? Jack Boreham Mar 1, 2022, 8:55 AM Sara Pinto, I haven't, but I've been to an NFT style exhibition in the British Museum. That was interesting! Sara Pinto Mar 1, 2022, 9:43 PM Jack Boreham really? How does that work? Jack Boreham Mar 2, 2022, 1:08 PM Mónica Freitas it was literally just a barcode...saying scan here to view the NFT Jack Boreham Mar 2, 2022, 1:08 PM HAHAH Mónica Freitas Mar 2, 2022, 3:39 PM Sara Pinto, I think we'll have more spaces to experience art immersively. NFTs are also a mashup between art and tech. So is modern music, partially. AI-Generated art and blockchain art are also starting, which is cool. Sara Pinto Mar 4, 2022, 11:36 AM Jack Boreham, well, that's a different way for sure haha. But I'm guessing it must be entertaining as well Sara Pinto Mar 4, 2022, 11:38 AM Mónica Freitas I believe we are looking up to a pretty awesome future :grinning_face_with_star_eyes: 💚 1 Abeer Mar 7, 2022, 10:13 AM Sara Pinto I haven’t been to an immersive exhibit but I’ve heard great things from friends about the Van Gogh and ZeroSpace exhibits here in NY. I can definitely see tech playing a huge role in art and culture. It already plays a huge role with digital art and animation getting so popular and accessible. On the culture side, there are apps like Artsy that make purchasing art pieces more accessible as well. Sara Pinto Mar 9, 2022, 9:33 PM Abeer, I haven't been to one as well, but I'm eager to try one out. I had no idea about apps like that! It makes it so reachable
