This New York Times article reviews an exhibition at several London galleries, all of which are exploring the relationships between technology, identity, and artistic practice.
"Digital art seems to be enjoying a moment of acceptance at major institutions in Britain, nearly three decades after the English computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Somerset House’s “Big Bang Data” explores the issues surrounding data production in the digital age, and runs through March 20. Across the city, the Serpentine Gallery and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery are hosting solo outings by the painter Michael Craig-Martin and the installation artist Simon Denny, both involving marriages between art and technology, until Sunday."

I find Amalia Ulman’s “Excellences and Perfections” series particularly interesting in light of our recent discussions on genes, biomedia and communication networks. Ulman’s piece is a commentary on how we construct our online identities, particularly, illustrating how femininity can be fabricated and constructed using Instagram and other social medias.
