Digital art did not begin with NFTs, artificial intelligence, or even the internet. Artists have been experimenting with computers and code since the 1960s, extending a much longer history of using new technologies to make and think about art. Today, those practices encompass everything from generative systems and artificial intelligence to immersive environments and decentralized networks.
Episode 1 of Decoding Art in the Digital Era, ‘What is Art in the Digital Era?’, traces this evolution, positioning digital art within a much longer history of artists adopting and responding to new technologies. Looking across six decades of experimentation, the episode shows how digital tools have challenged established ideas of what art can be, while reflecting a culture in which technology increasingly shapes how we communicate, create, and experience the world.
For more than three years, India’s northeastern state of Manipur has been trapped in a cycle of ethnic violence. What started as a dispute between two communities about land rights, identity and tribal status, has expanded into a wider conflict. More than 300 people have been killed and tens of thousands are living in temporary shelters. In the capital New Delhi, the violence has found two distinct expressions -- with an art exhibition and a public protest.

In the aftermath of World War II, artists across the globe turned to the expressive power of abstraction to grapple with their new postwar reality. Breaking from artistic traditions of the past, artists used color, form, shapes, and gestural mark-making to convey complex ideas and challenge established worldviews. The exhibition, "Beyond Form: Abstraction at Midcentury," unites works on paper by 65 artists from 23 countries, half of which are on view for the first time.
In this talk, research associate Chloé Glass takes a deeper look at the Chicago artists featured in the show, including figures such as Richard Hunt and Lenore Tawney, as well as broader histories of abstraction between 1940 and 1970.
Exhibition curator Kevin Salatino discusses "Willem de Kooning Drawing," the first exhibition to examine the expansive drawing practice of the Dutch-born, American artist.
Salatino focus on de Kooning’s continual innovation with experimental drawing techniques and his unique ability to dissolve the boundaries between representation and abstraction, male and female figures, “high” and “low” art forms, and, in particular, the disciplines of drawing and painting.
