Join Me…..Live from Cape Cod!

Thursday, April 3, from 12:00 – 1:30 pm, with Q/A.

I will be speaking live on the history of Techspressionism at the Cape Code Museum of Art. Details below:

Techspressionism introduces a new art historical term that distinguishes expressive fine art created with technology from such genres as “digital art,” which can include animated movies and video games. This artist generated movement embraces changing technologies in the creative process and communicates with each other via online salons, regional nodes, interviews, exhibitions, and writings. The program takes place concurrently online via Zoom and in person at the Cape Cod Museum of Art’s D’Alessandro Auditorium.  If you’d like to  attend via Zoom, you can register for free online here.

The program’s goal is to encourage communication between online and offline art worlds. The event includes a historical overview of Techspressionism, presentations of Techspressionism exhibits and a Q & A session to meet the artists. Renata Janiszewska, Karen LaFleur, and Benton Jones, Director of Art, will be in attendance at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.
