Network Arts and Social Distance: Capacities and Innovations

NowNet Arts Conference is an annual event for artists, technologists, researchers, educators, and industry professionals advancing topics in contemporary network arts for the ongoing development of the field. The Orpheus Institute is again one of the affiliate sites for the NowNet Arts Conference 2020, which is now fully online.

NowNet Arts Conference is an annual event for artists, technologists, researchers, educators, and industry professionals advancing topics in contemporary network arts for the ongoing development of the field. The 2020 theme “Network Arts and Social Distance: Capacities and Innovations” is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in the world due to social distancing. Network arts is a prominent field for continuation of live performance with capacities for events that take place entirely online or events with in-person participants dispersed across multiple locations. Historical and current artistic network arts works show the artistic significance in transcending distance and new expressions that are achieved through this medium. While the capacities are inherent to the field, social distancing calls for further innovations to adapt the artistic, technological, and educational strategies to this new setting. The NowNet Arts Conference 2020 is a program of papers, presentations, and concert demonstrations that feature this topic and generate new innovations for this work forward.

The NowNet Arts Conference 2020 is a virtual event this year. Presenters and attendees can participate from any remote site via Zoom.
