Introduction Feb 20, 2020

You’re creative. You work in tech. What does it mean to be creative with tech? Make art with tech? What’s ‘new media’, anyways? We’re diving deeper into the work of artists that we love, and how their work has influenced culture in more ways that we can see. Every episode we’ll invite two creatives to discuss various topics around what it means to be an artist using new mediums, or old mediums in new ways.
