Digital Edition: Art + Technology Art Exhibit Opportunity
Starting from the digital revolution of the 1990s to the social media era, digital technology has revolutionized the way we create and experience art today. It has transformed the traditional forms of art such as painting, printing, photography, and sculpture in the form of assemblage, collage, digital painting, matte painting, 3D printing. It also gave birth to new practices and media that we find today such as CGI, fractal art, generative art, glitch art, Datamoshing, algorithmic art, AI art, light art, net art, and immersive art (VR and AR).
This exhibition aims to reveal the diversity of practices and media we find today in Digital arts. Original artworks in any visual media may be entered- figurative or geometrical, conceptual, philosophical, or poetic, as long as they use digital technology as part of their creative process to either create traditional forms, or as a medium to create new types of art.
Submitted artworks can range from 2D, 3D, new media.

Meet Our Juror:
Laurie Frick uses data to examine what we can know about ourselves. In her hand-built installations, drawings and small works she experiments with how we will consume the mass of data increasingly captured about us. Evidence of her engineering background and long-history in high-tech are seen in the deep data analysis and detailed explanations of how this future will unfold.
Her work about the future of data were recently featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, Atlantic and Wired Magazine; she has been invited to talk at Google, SXSW, Stanford and TEDx. Recipient of numerous residencies and awards, including Samsung Research, Yaddo, Bemis and Facebook.
She holds an MFA from the New York Studio School, an MBA from University of Southern California and studied at NYU’s ITP program that melded art and technology into her current data work. Recent installations include public art in downtown Austin, CapitalOne, Facebook, Texas A&M and Michigan State University. Represented by Margaret Thatcher Projects in New York.
Born in Los Angeles, she lives and works in Austin, Texas.
