Going digital: Understanding the impact of digital Innovation within the arts

    Stream media from DACS and Carroll / Fletcher’s special panel debate exploring new technologies such as blockchain and their impact on the way we create, view, sell and purchase art.

    More about the event

    Taking place on Friday 7 October 2016 during Frieze Week, Going Digital looked at digital innovation in the context of artistic provenance, the rise of digital art and collections, and the empowerment of artists' rights.
     
    It looked in particular at blockchain technology, which underpins the bitcoin digital currency. By serving as a public ledger for online transactions, the technology is reshaping concepts of value, trust, law and governance.
