We're thrilled to announce a new series of talks with art curator and digital art theorist, Olena Iegorova. Join us for an enlightening journey through the evolving landscape of art and technology.

Pandora's box is a metaphor rooting from Ancient Greek mythology, and used to describe something bringing unforeseen trouble, but also holding hope. More than ever, this phrase has come to use in modern debates about digital art and a broad variety of its forms, including AI-generated art. Our lecture will trace the history of emerging art forms, exploring the transformative journey from traditional mediums to the avant-garde realm of digital expression. We will get to know:

• How technology shaped the world stirring chaos and opening unexplored horizons
• How it has become both the canvas and the brush giving rise to the era of innovation
• What are the main milestones prominent figures of art history in New Media Age
• How tech-advancements create new art forms and how they establish themselves against major resentment, bias and scandals surrounding them

Don't miss the opportunity to unlock the secrets behind one of the most controversial chapters of art history and observe its metamorphosis in real time with Olena Iegorova.
