[The Lumen Prize @lumenprize]

Did you know that many Lumen Prize applicants are independent artists working outside traditional institutional systems?

Over 33% of submissions come from emerging artists with fewer than four years of experience, many of whom are independent and self-directed artists.

If you’re making meaningful work with technology, you do not need a gallery or museum backing to belong here.

The Prize is designed to support artists across a wide range of practices, approaches, and stages in their careers.

If your work engages thoughtfully with tech, there is a place for it here.

@eleonorabrizi Convos always better than silence❣️Little known fact➡️my 1st job was at Feminists for Free Expression, against censorship of any type in the 90s during the “porn wars” in the 🇺🇸 Offices donated by Penthouse where I went after school to file docs etc. My mom in full support RIP❤️‍🔥

What is drawing? Been musing on it since invited to speak by @carlagannis & sketched some difficulties on its seeming obviousness for @TheBrooklynRail …no time/space to get into plotter drawings but that’s why back to the drawing board I always go 😉https://t.co/2rqNtQ05AX

@KBStudioNYC @ArtReview_ There’s good work on this in the luxury markets; here, I was less concerned w addressing provenance (which museums have historically helped buttress) than thinking through why/how museums serve as the ne plus ultra for display & whether that recontextualizes a practice

[charlotte kent @Lucy2Scribbles]

Wrote a thing for @ArtReview_ about digital art and museums, and why “museums can’t represent the only context for evaluating the significance of these practices, or an artist working with these types of technologies” 😉 even if we all love museums🎭

@Lucy2Scribbles @ArtReview_ Worth a read. Great article

[matdryhurst @matdryhurst]

This is great

I argued something complimentary in the alignDRAW book, that if you don’t know what arXiv is you very likely can’t fully comprehend the last 5 years of digital culture

[Damjanski 🥳 @Damjanski]

Always so thoughtful @Lucy2Scribbles

[charlotte kent @Lucy2Scribbles]

So delighted always to hear @sashastiles about language as a technology, this time in convo with @mpierpont3 in the lovely @NatnlArtsClub 💚💻🖤📚💚

[(Abi)gail @proofofgail]

I read this great article by Charlotte this morning and it pulls so much into focus on why the intersection of art and technology is hard to contextualise.

What does ‘digital’ art actually mean? Who defines value? And what can institutions learn?
