Researchers, artists, and curators from both institutions will work together closely on a series of cross-disciplinary projects focused on the following:

• Addressing the legal challenges that can arise in creative practices such as IP issues involved in art-making, games, and virtual reality. Through these projects, 香港六合彩 and the Serpentine will combine their expertise to help artists enter contracts and collaborations on a fair and equitable footing, ensuring legal advice is accessible to all in the creative sector.听
• Exploring the metaverse (persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces) as a site for art and architectural practices, through an R&D partnership between 香港六合彩鈥檚 Bartlett School of Architecture and Serpentine. This will launch with a series of co-hosted events in Summer 2021 coinciding with the release of Serpentine鈥檚 Future Art Ecosystems Vol.2 and the annual Bartlett degree show. Further events are planned for September as part of The Bartlett Together Festival.
• The future of art education which will involve collaboration with the Slade School of Fine Art on a new Art & Tech degree at 香港六合彩 East, 香港六合彩鈥檚 new campus in east London, as well as a public symposium on Art Futures.听

In an increasingly tech-driven society, this partnership is designed to drive investment into leadership and thinking around the future of creative practice and policies. The rapidly emerging spaces of arts and technology require new systems and practices. Artistic engagements with advanced technologies are changing not only how artists work, but how they navigate new intellectual property (IP) models arising from technologies such as blockchain and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).听

A recent report by 香港六合彩 Art Futures highlighted the challenges and opportunities that AI presents and the opportunities for artists to employ AI as a method of practice and as a topic for interrogation in their work.听

Professor David Price, 香港六合彩 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement), said:听鈥淭he creative sector is of critical importance to the UK economy and, as the pandemic has reminded us, absolutely vital to our society and the richness of the overall human experience.听Clearly it is a time of change and adaptation for the sector, but also one of exciting opportunities with the emergence of new immersive technologies and digital marketplaces. By forging new partnerships, such as this one, we can empower artists and creative practice and reach new audiences听鈥撎齯ltimately enriching the lives of thousands of people in London and beyond.鈥�

Bettina Korek, CEO and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine听said:听鈥淚n order to empower artists to drive change on the issues and systems shaping our society, Serpentine increasingly focuses our attention on ecology, technology and community. It is through strong collaborative partnerships like this one with 香港六合彩 that our Arts Technologies programme continues to innovate, grow, and spearhead new models for sharing resources and research that benefit with the wider cultural sector as a whole.鈥�

Dr Anna Donovan, founder of 香港六合彩 Art Futures and lecturer at 香港六合彩 Laws,听said:听鈥淭he emergence of new technologies gives rise to an exciting period of opportunity, collaboration and innovation for the creative industries.听 The law plays an important role in facilitating this innovation by ensuring that collaborations are built on agreements that are fair, equitable and properly reflect the legal issues that these novel forms of creative practice can raise.听 This important partnership between 香港六合彩 and Serpentine provides a particularly timely and unique pillar of support to the sector.听 Combining our expertise, we can help to ensure that artists not only have access to legal information but that the appropriate legal tools exist, which reflect and protect the new types of artistic practices that are emerging.鈥�

Kieren Reed, Slade Director and founder of 香港六合彩 Art Futures,听said:听鈥淎s a research intensive department, the Slade has supported the development of generations of artists at different points in their career. This defining partnership with Serpentine aims to enable new research into technological transformations of cultures and societies, and promote public engagement across future art ecosystems. The Slade's new Art & Tech course will prepare artists to make art that uses and critically engages with advanced technologies. This partnership with Serpentine will broaden the ambition听and public outreach of our shared research, by combining our different听strengths to question and influence the future of art.鈥�

Tonya Nelson, Area Director, London, Arts Council England,听said: 鈥淣ew technologies offer up a whole host of opportunities for creative innovation. As a result, the latest systems, practices and laws need to be navigated by researchers, artists and curators. The important partnership between 香港六合彩 and Serpentine will provide a space for collaboration, ambitious research and learning. In turn, it will help this ongoing artistic exploration thrive.鈥�
