When Female Meet with Technology and Ethics in Art
23 Feb, 2019 Blank·Art Salon Vol.1
Today technology is developing at an unprecedented speed. We are crossing over the Internet era and gradually getting into a new era of artificial intelligence. Under this context, is there still a need for female art? When artists all pick up intersexuality as their characteristic, does it mean the feminist art would already accomplish its historical mission, thus become asexuality?
Around the topic of "Contemporary Art x Women x Technology and Ethics", five invited guests: artist Bi Rongrong, writer btr and Ag, professor Liang Jie and journalist Lisa Movius shared their opinion on this diverse movement.
