Why hello again. It’s been a while since we’ve talked, and I must say: you’re looking mighty fine! Yesterday I spent the day checking out art in London – first the Rain Room at the Barbican, then the Light Show at the Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery. Continue reading
Part 2 of Digital Sizzle 6 was a brilliant marriage of art and tech. Last night, Whitechapel Gallery hosted the results of the Digital Sizzle hackathon earlier this month, where techies and artists came together to create. And the results were fascinating.
