This panel discussion examines the ways in which artists are using social media platforms like Instagram and the role it plays in relation to their practice. It discusses how in our increasingly digitised culture, we consume images, how they circulate, the networks and opportunities that develop, new forms of curation and the inevitable questions around ownership and censorship.
Chaired by Head of Art and Technology at SPACE, Rachel Falconer, panelists including artist, Nick Waplington, whose work was the focus of Tate Britain exhibition Nick Waplington/Alexander McQueen: Working Process, artist James Bridle and Curator (Digital Programme) at The Photographers’ Gallery, Katrina Sluis, discuss these opportunities and issues.
