Conference - Concordia University's 3rd Annual Undergraduate Art History Conference: Art and the Digital

The intersection of art making practices and new technologies is a key area of research for both art historians and artists. Questions of authorship, the impact of social networking on the dissemination of images, and the changing role of the artist continue to illuminate the ways in which the changing landscape of the digital shapes our perceptions of just what is considered art. The 2014 Undergraduate Art History Conference will address all things related to digital culture in art and art-making practices and create a space for the consideration of technology and it's rapidly shifting nature.

The conference's professional panel, moderated by Dr. Alice Jim, includes Esther Bourdages (Eastern Bloc), Jean Dubois (UQAM), Dr. Jonathan Lessard (Concordia), Dr. Christine Ross (McGill).

The keynote speech, to be given on January 25 at 5:30 pm is by internationally-renowned Canadian artist Kent Monkman.
