Art Meets Social Media
Date & Time: March 26 (SAT) 14:30—17:00
Venue: Xin Dan Wei (N0. 50 Yong Jia Road)
Cost: 30RMB/person ( coffee and tea included)
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.

As mobile technology continues to advance, applications or “apps” have not only permeated our daily lives, but also become an economic phenomenon in their own right. More importantly, they make it possible for large numbers of digital workers to start innovative and exciting business ventures. How are apps created? What are the most successful business models? What light do apps shed on the digital industry? The Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy will invite app pioneers from the UK to come to China and share their business stories and keen observations on the application development industry.
