\n<\/p>\n
Digital Talks: Open Call 2018 is part of DigiMuse Presents (Singapore Art Week 2019), a culmination of artistic projects from the inaugural DigiMuse Open Call 2018. Local and international artists will share their journey of using new technologies to advance their creative practices. American actress\u00a0Lucy Liu <\/em>teams up with our local artist\u00a0Shubigi Rao\u00a0<\/em>to present for the first time, Unhomed Belongings. The two creative artists, who had never met in person before, developed into \u201cvisual penfriends\u201d through an exploration of their respective works. In an age where apps provide instant services and smartphones allow us to capture just about anything and everything in an instant, the culture of now has never been so prevalent.
\nSpecial guest speakers will also share their perspectives on curating tech-art.

\n5pm | Exhibition Gallery 1, Basement Level
\nArtist talk with Randy Chan, in conversation with Michelle Ho, followed by a performance at 6pm<\/p>\nLucy Liu and Shubigi Rao: Unhomed Belongings<\/h6>\n
\nThe fluid conversation between the two artists is apparent in the virtual dialogue of their artworks. Liu\u2019s installation Lost and Found echoes Rao\u2019s Pulp (Volumes 1 and 2), where both invite viewers to examine found objects that may seem ordinary at first glance but possess peculiar character when observed up-close.
\nThrough their delicate yet deliberate craft-work, Liu and Rao transform the ordinary into the conceptual, and the salvaged into the sublime.<\/p>\nIn an Instant: Polaroid at the Intersection of Art and Technology<\/h6>\n
\nIts origins can perhaps be traced back to the late 1940s when Edwin Land first introduced the Polaroid camera to the world, marking a technological breakthrough in the history of photography.
\nInstant photography was born, predating the digital age in which we live today. Polaroid\u2019s unique qualities inspired artists and photographers including Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Lucas Samaras and Barbara Crane, while capturing the imagination of everyone else.
\nIn allowing people to capture a shared moment and to memorialise it in an instant, Polaroid was arguably perceived as the social network of its time. Check out the forefather of instantaneity.
