DegreeArt.com presents ‘Post Digital?’ an exhibition which seeks to explore the intersection at which our physical and virtual realities collide. ‘Post Digital?’ aims to question the process of creating art in a digital age and crucially, its very definition. Post-Digital (and Post-Internet and even Post-Media) is at the heart of numerous contemporary discussions, articles, conferences, exhibitions and publications. These discourses expose the uncertainty surrounding our relationship with the digital, but moreover question whether we have truly reached a new, post-digital age. Have we reached the end of the digital era, or are we merely witnessing a transformation in the way we comprehend, practically and theoretically, its role in art and our wider society?
In the lead up to the symposium which takes place 7th August 6-8pm @DegreeArt and the artists will takeover FAD via #PostDigitalFriday & #PostDigitalWeekend.

Notes:
DegreeArt.com has been exploring the proposition of how the art world can translate its offline activities successfully into an online platform which is both sympathetic to the industry whilst embracing the advancements of technology to benefit all involved. In 2013 DegreeArt was awarded funding from the £7 million Digital Research and Development Fund for Arts run by Nesta, Arts Council England and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The funding has been used to develop an ecommerce solution for the Art World called Artellite which is being launched alongside the exhibition.
