In a lively illustrated presentation and clip show, curator and writer Michael Connor shares a love letter to digital art in 7 parts, telling the stories of key works and moments in digital art from the 1970s through the emergence of NFTs in 2014. The event is a concise and accessible journey through the surprisingly long history of artistic practices that have deeply shaped all aspects of human culture, and yet remain poorly understood. A must see for NFT enthusiasts, creative coders, social media denizens, and digiphiles of all kinds.
