Art in the Digital Age<\/span>
Sat: 10:00 AM \/ Salon H (1 hr)
There\u2019s not really a question anymore about whether digital art can be fine art, all you have to do is look at Artist GOH John Picacio\u2019s work. So we\u2019ll ask how people have adapted their techniques in the digital age, and how much digital options have impacted their work.
Moderator: Anderson, David Lee
Participants: Picacio, John; Bradley, Peter<\/p>\n
