The conversation around “Art and Technology” has been around for decades, pulling ideas from two disciplines in hopes of generating some new type of experience. Technology continues to evolve, transforming daily life and the ways we engage with each other. Has the concept of Art+Tech kept up? Technology is, and has always been, about creating a great experience – ease, efficiency, and magnification. What does this mean for the Art world, and more specifically an Art Museum? If we look at the Art Museum as a catalyst for creativity, rather than a frame for art, we’ve got something to work with. We can make experience the focus instead of an afterthought in a post-digital world where interaction and engagement with technology and the museum only matter when they are working in tandem. In this presentation, we will discuss how Art and Tech is changing, how museums are harnessing technology to create a better experience, and future opportunities for integrating tech, creativity, and art.
