What happens at the intersection of art, tech, science and sound? What does the art of the future look like? In what way do artists reflect on new media and how do they push the boundaries of technology?
Join us on an exploratory journey into New Media Art by asking the question But is I.T. Art?.
Sharing voices from our artists, curator, museum team, and museum visitors, this first series journeys through new media art installations from exhibitions Shifting Proximities (2020-2022) and UFO-Unidentified Fluid Other (2022-2023) at Nxt Museum, Home of New Media Art in Amsterdam.

Art is a Myth
The fascination with mythological, the larger-than-life, often surreal characters is apparent in classic works of art. How do artists use new media art to tell mythological stories? How can these technologies bring the myths closer to us?

Avatartists
Online, we create an alter ego, not bound by any of the physical constraints that exist in our everyday physical life. The question is who will you choose to be in this new iteration of yourself? Will your personality remain true to your IRL self or will elements of it enhance in this digital realm? This digital self can interact with others - or with artificial intelligence - and can become a social being with its own complete identity and character. Artists are exploring the possibilities for reaching audiences in these public digital spaces as well, but how do they do this and how does this differ from digital art in the physical realm?
Episode 4 features Ksawery Kirklewski, Harriet Davey and The Fabricant .

The Androgynous Artist
Though the digital world consists of a binary system of zeroes and ones, the outcome is not as binary when it comes to gender. Fluidity is key when it comes to the digital self and this is apparent in many forms of contemporary new media art. How can artists reflect on the gender binary by working in WEB 3 or using digital technologies? Featuring Amber Jae Slooten, Harriet Davey and Jacolby Satterwhite

The Artist as a Bridge
UFO – Unidentified Fluid Other cuts loose from physical life’s gravity and explores who we are becoming in virtual worlds. How will the future evolve? Will we be more active in the digital world or will there always be some sort of hybrid between digital and physical world? Is this hybrid art?
Featuring Bogomir Doringer and Audrey Large

Insightful and rewarding
These episodes touch on themes that are important to artists working particularly in the digital space. I’m encouraged that these conversations are happening, and will be revisiting these for repeat listenings.
