Looking forward to being the chair for Let’s Get Digital: CAA: February 15 - 18, 2023 This third panel considers creative practices, aesthetics, ritual and pedagogy of digital realities, AI, 3D animation, and their connections with our physical world.

Let’s Get Digital embraces the timely opportunity to critically reexamine the impacts of digital technology and the barrage of information on our perceptions of reality. Specifically, this panel is focusing on digital art, emergent platforms, and forms of creative care and curatorial strategies. In bringing together a panel of artists, scholars, and curators, we hope to collectively reflect on our present post-internet age, to borrow Byung-Chul Han’s term, ‘the age of like’, and what it means to engage with the digital realm, over half-a-century since its inception.
