This week on the show we sit down with curator Tina Rivers Ryan – one of the preeminent curators mapping contemporary artistic practices engaged with the digital, and keeping the flame of digital art history alive. In this in-depth conversation we delve into Tina's evolution as a curator, and many of the particularities of curatoring digital art. As well, Tina is one of the few thinkers out there who is fluent in the art world and the crypto/NFT world, and in our discussion she offers an important message about how we all may be missing the bigger issue amdist the polarizing discourse around crpyto and art.Links from the conversation with Tina:> http://www.tinariversryan.com> https://www.albrightknox.org> Difference Machines: https://www.albrightknox.org/art/exhibitions/difference-machines-technology-and-identity-contemporary-art> Tina's recent essay: Will the Artworld’s NFT Wars End in Utopia or Dystopia? https://artreview.com/will-the-artworld-nft-wars-end-in-utopia-or-dystopia/
