FUTURE METAPHORS

I’ve started writing a monthly column for the fantastic ART21 Blog I’ve called FUTURE METAPHORS. Here’s the text on it:

“FUTURE METAPHORS will explore how new technologies have infiltrated contemporary art making and how artists respond to the ways in which new technologies are changing us. Think of it as “the sci-fi column” on Art21, or an extension of Lozano’s previous stint as a guest blogger. Lozano will present interviews with artists, “case studies,” reviews of shows in his city of Chicago and observations on culture and technology.”

The first post is ONLINE NOW.
