Wie werden wir Kunst in Zukunft bewerten? Der High-End-Kunstmarkt hat den Ruf, notorisch konservativ und ohne Parität zu sein. Doch zunehmend vielfältige und eigenermächtigte KünstlerInnen und KonsumentInnen kündigen einen radikalen Marktwandel an. Außerdem bieten die digitalen Technologien neue kreative Möglichkeiten, während das Versprechen einer dezentralen Infrastruktur radikal die verbreitete Vorstellung von Kunstbesitz stört.

Kristina Leipold (DE)
I strongly believe that access and exposure to arts and cultural heritage is essential to developing qualities of a responsible global citizen. New technologies can facilitate the democratization of art by removing barriers like cost and location, engaging audiences in new and fun ways and making it possible to even own a piece of art. I’ve been working at the intersection of arts and technology for many years. As a country manager for Google Arts and Culture I introduced innovative technologies to 100+ cultural institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Currently at LAS I’m working closely with artists using technology as a medium to express their artistic vision. I’m convinced technology will change the way how we experience, learn about, collect and buy art.
