Goal

State of the ARt’s goal is to make artists more open and aware to new technologies that lead to novel forms of expression. Allow the artists to push art forward, invent and define new paradigms of expression with powerful meanings. At the same time, expose the general public to art that pushes the limits and defines new meanings that will change how people think and feel - today and in the future.

Duration

This project will evolve in several phases over a period of one year.

Sustainability

Modern ways in which art is created, produced, distributed, marketed, preserved and supported have shifted as a direct reaction of the world's transition to a socially connected, digital society - to the age of the internet.
Creation of a digital platform that will promote artworks created under the program. This platform will expose the artists’ work to a global market.

Outcomes

Art provides a powerful lens for engaging with technology because of its high degree of freedom in making large conceptual leaps across domains, delivering surprising outcomes.
