Art and design have played a key role in the development of computer technology, but how has the rapid-fire digital world influenced the traditionally slow process of painting? This British Science Festival exhibition shows how contemporary painters are harnessing the creative potential of digital media.
Part of a programme of British Science Festival events at BALTIC 39 organised by BALTIC Professor Christine Borland with postgraduate artists and researchers from Northumbria University plus international guests.
