With NFTs dropping into the art market, ChatGPT sweeping the world and ‘everyone on social media’, the recent popularity of new technologies and AI software has brought with it fierce debate in the creative industry.
With each new (re)invention comes questions around authenticity, authorship, consent and more broadly, what it means to be an artist in a digital world, plus the future of art itself.
From policies that determine who should be paid for copyrighted works, to opportunities to explore new types of creation and collaboration, join artists Teemu Mäki, Marcel Noack and Antonio Roberts and theorist Jelena Guga as they uncover how to tackle the threats and embrace the potential of technology.
Attend the symposium in person in Belgrade or tune in online (of course!) to hear how artists have reacted or not to digital trends, forging new pathways, redefining their identity and owning a narrative of adaptability, innovation, and reflection.
