Digital for artists: Friend or foe?
Three artists will discuss how their creative practices have evolved to include digital elements and processes, what inspires them and how they approach creative opportunities that rely on digital tools or are destined for digital platforms.
All successful creative digital projects start from a clear idea. Something that reflects the artist or creator, who they are, and the story they want or need to tell.
But how do you get from an idea to a finished production, and how can digital processes help you to get there? Where can digital skills, practices and tools make your creative process more vibrant, more engaged, or easier, and where do the pitfalls lie?
In this webinar Natalie Woolman, Executive Producer, Broadcast and Special Projects at The Space, will be joined by three artists working in different mediums to discuss:
- How their creative practices have evolved to include digital elements and processes
- What inspires them
- How they approach creative opportunities that rely on digital tools or are destined for digital platforms
