What defines 'new media art' as a genre? How does technology change our relationship to images, art, and each other? Focusing on new media work from the past four decades, this discussion explores common themes of the genre. We are joined by new media art curator and critic Shauna Jean Doherty and MacKenzie Art Gallery curatorial assistant Lillian O’Brien-Davis. This panel discussion is intended for audiences both new and familiar with new media work.
