SXSW 2024
Is Art Having an Identity Crisis?
Description:
Today, the traditional definitions and boundaries of art are being challenged, and the very essence of it is being redefined. The emergence of digital art and immersive experiences has opened up new possibilities and blurred the lines between different artistic mediums. Artists are grappling with questions of authenticity, value, and the role of technology in their work. While NFTs have democratized access to art and offer new avenues for artists to monetize their works, they have also raised concerns about the commodification and devaluation of artistic expression.
