Episode 2: I enjoy not being in control of my material
In this episode, we examine the material - the matter that gives shape to the objects we define as art. Traditionally, we associate art with a physical object, an entity that can be hung, placed, or simply touched. But more and more, the requirement for something physical seems to become irrelevant in the art world. Digital art challenges this drastically, and has done so for decades already. Also performance art has changed the concept of an object as opposed to the maker forever. So, indeed, what makes something an artwork?
Guests in this episode: Lotus Rooijakkers, Cecilie Fang and Thijs Jaeger.
