Kim and Patricia sit down to talk about how artists and arts professionals use technology, and to what ends. We trace a line from the Sony Portapak to avant-garde film movements, feminist film theory to artists taking ownership of their archives, exhibition modeling, AI, cybernetics, and more. What effect does our tech use have on art itself, and society at large?
This episode is the first in an ongoing series centered on the theme of Art & Technology.
As a note to our listeners, this episode discusses the January 2025 LA Fires and their effects on artists and art workers.

How do you use your time? Kim and Patricia discuss daily routines, how artists and writers get into "the zone," studio habits, gallery exhibition planning, and navigating artist/curator conversations about the technicalities of putting on an art show. Join us to learn about the inner workings of studio practice, the work of research, and some contemporary artists' relationship to process. [Recorded December 2024]
