With the advent of mainstream social networking technologies like Twitter, Facebook, Weibo and others, social media have created a new form of public space that is one part digital, one part social. Artists have begun playing with and exploring this new social space, developing art that mixes the traditions of net art, public art, performance art and visual art. Los Angeles artist and designer An Xiao Mina will be speaking about emerging trends in artistic explorations of social media.
Artist and designer An Xiao looks at the impact of new technologies, especially mobile and social media, as digital meets analog. She has shown her work in art spaces internationally, including the Brooklyn Museum, Yale/Haskins Laboratories, the Pacific Asia Museum and the DUMBO Art Under the Bridge Festival. Recently listed in The Guardian‘s “who’s who” of the Twitter art world, she has been featured in numerous print and online publications, including The New York Times, The New York Observer, Sing Tao Daily, The Huffington Post, ArtNEWS and Art in America.
