Time to Find Out About: New Media, Artists’ Moving Image and Film will be an opportunity for artists who incorporate technology into their work from sonic arts, animation, mixed media performance, film and video, as well as those who would like to explore this field in more depth, to hear from four experts in the field of professional development.
