The sixth edition of "Nodes - Art + Tech Encounters" takes place on Friday, December 11 at 10 am (PT). The final Nodes edition of 2020 will reflect on the Bay Area’s art and technology ecosystem. Principal Investigator Vanessa Chang will share the research she has spent the last year cultivating for The Grid’s 2020 report and discuss it with special guests. We will cover topics such as the Bay Area’s shifting models of philanthropy, how art and technology collaborations are largely skewed around technology companies and how building regenerative art/tech networks may be a solution to the pitfalls these partnerships face.
“Nodes – Art + Tech Encounters” is a series of talks that brings together artists, technologists and researchers from the U.S. and Europe. It aims to engage in dialogues about the potential and necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration between art and technology. Art, science and technology are highly intertwined, and it is now impossible to divide them. The Grid seeks to (re)establish a productive dialogue on this relationship, and highlight the potential of artistic thinking in tech companies.
