The Art of Experimentation online conference
This two-day online conference brings together presentations from contemporary artists and researchers who explore the possibilities of alternative photographic processes. Presenters will consider how contemporary practitioners are using innovative and unique approaches to photography to explore the possibilities of light sensitive materials. We will be joined by eleven artists from Australia, Canada, England, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey and the United States.
We would love to see you there. Tickets are free! All you have to do is register at the event page.
