Sedition have launched an international partnership with Magnum Photos to celebrate Magnum’s 70th anniversary. “70 at 70” sees these two leading digital arts organisations come together to present collections of iconic photographic and video works from Magnum’s archives, created over the last 70 years.
The partnership involves the launch of collections of carefully selected works released as limited editions exclusively on www.seditionart.com over the course of 2017, allowing collectors to be able to view and purchase works on their digital devices using the Sedition apps for iOS, Android and Apple TV. Running alongside the online collaboration will be a cultural programme of digital exhibitions, events and panel discussions for the public to enjoy and experience the world of digital art.

“70 at 70” will go on tour to New York in June, and Paris in November, with further works being released for these events. This collaboration not only marks an important anniversary for one of the largest photographic companies in the world, but also the rising influence and appreciation of the digital as a medium to create, view and appreciate art today.
