4A Digital In Review

4A Digital In Review

As 4A Digital logs off for another year, join artists Marcus Whale and Jane Fan for a panel discussion with co-curators Marco Rinaldi (Curatorial Assistant, supported by the Sally Breen Family Foundation) and Con Gerakaris (4A, Curatorial Program Manager). 
This panel discussion reflected upon the ten newly-commissioned artworks created for 4A Digital 2021 and discussed the methodologies of creating work for digital engagement, curating online spaces and expand upon themes of online communities and new approaches to media.
