Contemporary tools of creatives working with technology



The workshop introduces all possible tools, technologies and processes of a creator working with the contemporary tools in the post-digital age.
Based on the experience gathered during its years of creation, the artist-duo Mar & Varvara has compiled an atlas of materials to facilitate a journey through the components of digital art, illustrating it with examples of their own creations and of others recognized artists.
