In conversation: Vanya Balogh and Martin Sexton
Friday 21 June, from 6.30pm
The topic, ‘Art In The Time Of Digital Delirium’, considers digital imagery within the field of virtual art and erotica. It will explore the politics of deception, independent virtual curation, the rise and fall of NFTs and some other issues, touching on the current digital zeitgeist. The speakers’ conversation will be in open flow and will raise the question as to whether contemporary, ultra modernist art is reaching its extinction point?
