Watch the panel discussion exploring how to “connect the dots” between architecture & design, art and technology to engage and inspire clients in an innovative new way.

Listen to a conversation between Thought Leaders and Trendsetters from the Art, Architecture & Design, Luxury Real estate and Technology world, as they discuss:

New Media Art
Artists tell the story of the world they live in, and they do so through the medium that best resonates with their audience. We live in a digital age, defined by technology and the growth of the online world, and that is altering the way we experience art. New media art is a burgeoning genre that encompasses artworks created with new media technologies, including virtual reality art, moving image art, code based art, AI art and many more.

The "New Normal"
The world is moving online faster than we ever expected, and for art that revolution has been even more emphatic. We’re experiencing a cultural shift in the art experience, and the trend to consuming art online will only grow from here. New Media Art is experiencing a breakthrough and the COVID19 pandemic accelerated its growth and acceptance as an essential and accessible art form.

Quayola

New Media Artist

Quayola employs technology as a lens to explore the tensions and equilibriums between seemingly opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. Constructing immersive installations, often at historically significant architectural sites, he engages with and re-imagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Hellenistic sculpture, Old Master painting, and Baroque architecture are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola’s abstract compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, video, sculpture, and works on paper.
