Panel Statement

Panel: Digital Tools

While a programmer may be an artist, an artist does not necessarily have to be a programmer, not even an artist working in new media and with new technologies_ Media intensive art work has a long history of collaboration between visionaries and technicians, beginning with theater and film, then video, and now “multi-media.” The nature of the work often requires a team of participants each of whom contributes expertise necessary to the completion of the project.

• Chea Prince (USA) is a visual artist and co­director of public domain, inc., a nonprofit art collective dedicated to the exploration of the intersection of art, technology and theory. Present concerns include inquiries into the possibility of community, and the impact of technology on the formation of group identity.
