Beyond the Canvas

In this presentation, Chanhu Wie (MA Fine Art: Computational Arts) introduces a research publication that examines how digital art is positioned within the contemporary art world, questioning the institutional boundaries that define fine art and the criteria through which artistic value is recognised.

Part of an afternoon programme exploring art, technology and the canon, also featuring Fireside Chat: Modes of Viewing in Relation to Video Art.

Please note: This event will be recorded.

This event is part of Dispersion, a celebration of practice-led research across a vibrant spectrum of material and energetic forms, hosted by MA Fine Art Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, in the South London Gallery’s Clore Studio.

Dispersion recalls the diffusion of ideas, the dissolving of boundaries, and the interactive forces that shape art practice; not oriented towards a singular object or event but engaged in an ongoing process of transformation. At the end of fifteen months of concentrated research, the final gathering of this MA Fine Art cohort stages an experiment in dispersion via publication, performance, and participation.

Featuring a daily public programme of performances, screenings, talks and workshops, alongside artist books, essays, and zines. With work by graduating students from MA Fine Art: Computational Arts, MA Fine Art: Drawing, MA Fine Art: Painting, MA Fine Art: Printmaking, MA Fine Art: Photography, and MA Fine Art: Sculpture.

You are welcome to drop in any time to explore the work on display. Events are free to attend and open to all (18+). Explore the rest of the Dispersion programme here.
