Your Art Is A Spell
Season 1 Episode 13

Is this the future of art? 👁️🌐✨

We explore 3 mind-bending digital art exhibitions in LA—featuring AR, AI, glitches, and queer futurities—with artist  @lineadeluz of the  @TheSelfieInstitute as our guide.

🖼️ Featured Exhibitions:

Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
