“Cederic Price – the great architect, who together with Joan Littlewood, the pioneer of street theater – famously said ‘Technology is the answer, but what was the question?’ And I think that is where artists come in. Artists come with these questions, and that’s when it becomes relevant.” — Hans-Ulrich Obrist
The ubiquitous and brilliant curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist, the artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in London, recently made news by announcing that he would be far less ever-present in 2020, as seeks to curb his personal impact on the environment. Always on the cutting-edge, Obrist has long been a proponent of artists explorations of art and technology to lead to greater enlightenment – ecological or otherwise.
In Bloomberg’s Art + Technology series (sponsored by Hyundai), art luminaries such as Obrist explore the ways artists and arts organizations alike work with technology. This selection from the series explores the question of how art can make us better humans – in this case, through the power of technology.
From Bloomberg:
Technology is changing the way we make, experience and share our ideas. But how do artists use it to shape their craft and the way their audiences experience it? ART + TECHNOLOGY explores how creatives are bringing the disparate fields of ART + TECHNOLOGY together to reveal surprising works that belong to a whole new genre.
