Ancient and future technologies collide with art in today's episode
Stream CBC Arts: Exhibitionists S04E09 now!
Today's episode is all about ancient and future technologies, but today we're also going to show you what happens when two areas of thought that are usually defined in opposite camps — art in one and technology in the other — come together. You'll see how an ancient system of measurement is still walking the runway, how cryptocurrency gets locked into a sculpture and one artist's idea about how death might happen in space.
