Fluidity is key when it comes to the digital self and this is apparent in many forms of contemporary new media art. How can artists reflect on the gender binary by working in WEB 3 or using digital technologies? Featuring Amber Jae Slooten, Harriet Davey and Jacolby Satterwhite

Online, we create an alter ego, not bound by any of the physical constraints that exist in our everyday physical life. The question is who will you choose to be in this new iteration of yourself? Will your personality remain true to your IRL self or will elements of it enhance in this digital realm? This digital self can interact with others - or with artificial intelligence - and can become a social being with its own complete identity and character. Artists are exploring the possibilities for reaching audiences in these public digital spaces as well, but how do they do this and how does this differ from digital art in the physical realm?
Episode 4 features Ksawery Kirklewski, Harriet Davey and The Fabricant .

What happens when humans and machines start to feel each other’s language? Is the computer the modern day performance artist? What is VJing and can it be seen as art?

How can light be used to reconstruct our perception of space? What happens when we fuse art, mathematical equations and human experience?
This second episode of ‘But is I.T. Art?’ explores the role of light in new media art and how it can be used as in creating the illusion of a physical material to reconstruct our surroundings.
