Our work in Art and Technology
Art and Technology is one of the fastest and most exciting areas in the cultural and creative economy. Our work supports artist-led innovation and the global ecosystems that enable their work.
Our starting point is that artists are not just beneficiaries of technology—they are innovators who test its limits, challenge its biases, and expose its flaws in ways that deepen trust, prioritise sustainability, and foreground diversity.
We champion the UK sector and build connections with international artists, studios, cultural institutions, creative and technology companies, activists, festivals, heritage organisations, and academia.
Research, policy, and advocacy are central to our work in Art and Technology. Through our series of research and reports, we advocate for the arts sector as a catalyst for innovation, building on evidence that international artist-led innovation contributes to more diverse, representative, and resilient societies.
