ART+TECH FINAL. 2024
Marina Fedorova, one of two mentors in this year’s Art + Tech Programme, has guided a group of talented UAE students in creating an innovative installation. The result of their collaboration will be unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art 2024, showcasing the exciting intersection of art and technology.
Art + Tech is an annual community programme commissioned by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi inviting artists to collaborate with Art and Technology students in a series of workshops. The purpose of the program is to bridge the gap between Art + Technology in their studies.
The international artist Marina Fedorova, well known for her past exhibitions at Art Dubai, Dubai Design Week and Ethereal Echoes, is one of the two lead mentors for the Art & Tech Programme showcase at Abu Dhabi Art 2024.
Under the guidance of experienced artist Marina Fedorova, university students embarked on a transformational journey, exploring the possibilities of augmented reality, which opens up unique ways to bring artistic concepts to life that are inaccessible to traditional forms of art. Working with Marina provides students with a rare opportunity to gain practical skills and knowledge in the use of augmented reality in their creative work.
“Art and technology are not opposites, they are partners,” Fedorova asserts. “When used properly, technology can help bring visitors closer to the values and history we are trying to convey.”
This amalgam of technology and art will be unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art 2024 from 20-24 November, where Fedorova’s cutting-edge digital art will set a new standard for how we engage with visual storytelling.
